Hello! I am an experienced Vendor Manager and I would like to interact with the Proz.com community in a different way than just posting job adverts and leaving reviews.

Is there anything you would like to know about vendor management and the supplier-buyer interaction in the language services industry?

Feel free to ask!

How often do you apply your personal preference(s) and/or prejudice(s) in selection of vendors?

If any, kindly do list classifications of such biases, whether in descending or ascending order; how they operate; and, how you -and the company, assuming they're onto/filled into the situation- make peace with such choices?

Thanks

Vendor? Jun 22, 2021

Let’s start by using the correct terminology: I’m not a vendor, I don’t sell goods to my customers, I provide a service (translation, transcreation, editing and proofreading)…

By all means! Jun 22, 2021

Hello Carmen,
why don't you write an article or a case study about the topic?
Chatting about it doesn't make much sense.
Regards,
Ivana

To place the translation job to a "vendor" who offers the "best rate".

Teresa, this is just simple business terminology. From an accounting perspective, every entity that sells goods or services to a business is a vendor. That can be the supplier of prefabricated parts, the Internet provider, lawyers, tax consultants, subcontractors, caterers, every person or business that invoices something is a vendor. Even Sir Elton John would be a vendor to a business if he sold them a song for a new commercial, so the term does not diminish the art you put into you work.

How translation-savvy should a vendor manager be?
