Winning More Than Your Share of the Pie

Winning More Than Your Share of the Pie

On this episode Gary speaks to Mark Anders, who is an Operations and Framework Director at Mace. Mark tells a great story about how he came to be doing what he does today (you would never guess!). He shares his many years experience in managing Client Frameworks and offers some sage advice on how to get the most out of the client and, importantly, how to win more than your fair share of the pie!

 

KEY TAKEAWAYS

  • Mark thinks the most economic way of bringing in services is not to go out to the open market every time, it's to build a framework of businesses who meet a certain set of criteria. This way you will only have to do your research on them once, you get a high level contractor,  and it will save you time and money. 
  • The key part of your engagement on the framework is that it lets you know more about the client and what the client needs. The old question ‘what keeps you awake at night' is more relevant than ever. 
  • Frameworks allow you to learn and understand what direction the client wants to head in and what the future looks like for them. Be part of framework management and have those community meetings where they discuss what their buying power is. 
  • You can also use a framework to understand buying habits. You can gain tangible added value by observing and understanding the scope and feeding that information back to the client. 
  • If you can not just meet and deliver on client expectations, but exceed them, then that client is going to try and bring you back. 



BEST MOMENTS

‘Save yourself the time and energy and go to that supplier' 

‘As a client it's about how risk averse you are' 

‘You don't just say what you're going to say, you do what you're going to do' 

‘You have two ears and one mouth and should use them in that proportion'
