Ding Dong: Vendor Calling
All managers should prepare for such a situation by continually promoting their successes to upper management. Highlight situations when the in-plant bailed out departments by meeting impossible deadlines. Get customers to speak out in your favor. Stress your total focus on the parent organization’s business needs. If you’re seen as the print expert, with the best interests of the organization in mind, then the VP may ask you to deal with the vendor.
