Curious about mastering vendor chats? Dive in and share your strategies for setting clear expectations and meeting deadlines.
I’ve navigated vendor communication challenges before, and I found that establishing clear expectations from the get-go is crucial. During our initial meetings, I made it a point to outline not just the project timelines, but also what quality and deliverables looked like. I also set up regular check-ins to keep the lines of communication open and to address any issues early on. If a deadline was approaching, I would reach out a few days in advance just to confirm everything was on track. By being proactive and approachable, I made it easier for the vendor to come to me with concerns or updates, which helped us stay aligned and meet our goals. This approach not only smoothed out the process but also strengthened our working relationship
