Real materials.
Meaningful connections.
A defined requirement. A considered introduction. A conversation with a practical purpose.
Discuss a requirementValue begins
with understanding.
The material is only one part of the picture.
A physical commodity requirement connects product, specification, geography, timing and people. My focus is on bringing those elements into a clearer conversation and considering whether a relevant introduction can help.
Relationships are most useful when there is a clear reason to connect. I begin with the requirement, the role of each participant and the question the introduction is intended to resolve.
See the whole
requirement.
The product
What material, specification and broad quantity are involved?
The context
Which origin, destination, timing and practical constraints matter?
The people
Who is the principal, who is authorised to act, and what is the purpose of connecting?

The right people.
A clear purpose.
A useful connection gives each participant enough context to understand why they are being introduced. Roles, authority, commercial terms and the work required to proceed should be addressed directly by the relevant parties.
My role and any introduction arrangement are established for the particular inquiry. Availability, authority and commercial terms are established directly with the relevant parties.
