It’s a collab podcast – this time we are joining forces with fellow smooth podcasters Luke Stroud and Luke Burford aka 2Lukes of Let’s Talk Procurement (verified as the second best procurement-based podcast). 

Yes, it’s PSN vs LTP.  GenX vs GenZ.  Masters vs Learners.   

We discuss important matters such as: which animal would be best at procurement; how to spot “red flags” in recruiting and job ads; whether you always need a notepad; should we have merch, an Amazon mini-series and possibly the sponsorship of Tranmere Rovers?

Plus: what usually goes wrong in procurement; how to “proc block”; being judged on savings alone; the most important 3 things to take into a negotiation (choose from cheese grater, bleach, knife, cocoa butter, toothpaste and others); should you negotiate with 10 buyers or 1 head of Procurement; the best negotiation tactics; and the biggest changes in procurement in the last 30 years. 

And: whether it's true that only 2 people have ever really wanted to go into procurement as their first choice career.

It's absolutely full of advice of the sort that will get you a long way to achieving CIPS level 5.  And it’s free – even cheaper than crisps this time.   Listen now on all the usual pod places.
