🎙 Episode 5: Supplier Maintenance – The Secret to Scaling Smart

How do you justify taking time to talk with your suppliers when everyone’s already overwhelmed? In this episode, Stephen shares why making time for supplier relationships is exactly how you gain a competitive edge.

Too many companies only call their suppliers when there's a problem. But what if you could be the partner they look forward to working with? The kind of customer they prioritize, share ideas with, and invest in?

Drawing from real experiences scaling to 8 figures, Stephen shares proven techniques for building mutual trust with manufacturers—relationships that pay off tenfold over time. Whether you're negotiating better pricing, improving lead times, or co-developing new products, supplier maintenance isn't a chore—it's a strategy.

💡 What You’ll Learn:

  • How to build long-term supplier relationships that give you leverage

  • Why being a “great customer” unlocks better deals and better service

  • Simple ways to add value to your suppliers (and why it pays off)

  • How to navigate cost pressures, automation, and supplier consolidation

  • Why showing up (literally) still matters—yes, even in a digital world

✅ BONUS: Stephen introduces his new "Work With Me" tab at findyoursource.pro. He’s now offering direct consulting—whether it's process audits, staff training, or live coaching at trade shows. If you or your team want to level up your sourcing game, this could be the opportunity to finally find your source.
