Vendor calendar
The first two minutes play for everyone. The full episode is available on request with a work email.
What this episode covers
One feature, properly explored: Vendor calendar. Fiscal year ends and the moments vendors move. Brian carries the real life texture from years running sourcing, Janice keeps the structure honest.
Live over the product: reading the fiscal timeline, your renewal meets their close, steering the schedule long game. Plus the use cases counted out loud, the honest when-not-to-use-it beat, and the ten minute way to start on your own paper tonight.
