Moving from sales to procurement in Hong Kong
Connect negotiation and commercial coordination to purchasing responsibilities.
Compare both sides of the transaction
Product knowledge, quote comparison and relationship management transfer from sales. Procurement also requires attention to supply risk, internal demand and approval processes.
Prepare a transition example
Explain how you coordinated a delivery issue or compared commercial terms and documented the outcome. Describe your plan to learn procurement systems, supplier evaluation and conflict-of-interest requirements.
Practise comparing suppliers
Use public information for a simple comparison of price, delivery, quality and risk, and explain the trade-offs. Cite the data and do not disclose a former employer’s quotes or contracts.
