What if there is no value in what you’re doing? by Kelly Barner

May 14, 2013

The very best thing about my role at Buyers Meeting Point is that I get to work and learn at the same time.

1,000 blog posts . . . well actually as of right now and excluding today’s post, 993. When I started the Procurement Insights blog back in May 2007 I never had what you would say a grand plan. Seth Godin once said that he blogs because he can think of no other medium through which […]
