More of what you want

This will be brief and not at all heavy.

I know exactly where you’re at right now.

It’s Friday afternoon, you’re knackered, your social battery is on zero and you’re just sat there considering what’s a reasonable time to log off from Teams without anyone batting an eyelid

(Pro tip…you cold just perma toggle your Teams status to green).

So…use this newsletter to while away 3 more valuable minutes that will edge you one step closer to ‘home time’.*

*I know you’re already at home, and if you’re stuck in an office right now because they expect you in 5 days a week to justify their expensive lease to 2030, get out faster than your next Microsoft update.

Just Five Things to know from me

1. Reader Survey (thank you!)

It feels I’m on the right track with everything I publish on here and the balance is right between insightful content and a bit of light-hearted corporate bashing fun.

But I’ve been given plenty of content ideas and now have a fully packed plan for my Monday Insights articles. It’s going to be quite a ride.

There was just one contradiction I’d welcome settling a debate on.

Some of you said you wanted this

Others said this

Please settle the debate for me!

2. On Monday I announce my course!

And you get first dibs to find out all about it and join my first cohort.

I’ve been working on this for months.

I’m excited to give my Procure Bites community a special founders round opportunity to join me.

It’s called Procurement Soft Skills Mastery.

Do you want to be a master and fast track your career?

That’s it, that’s what I’ll be delivering. Find out more on Monday.

3. Sponsorship of this newsletter is go

Thank you for all the enquiries I’ve had so far.

If you’re interested in sponsoring this newsletter, all you have to do is respond with an e-mail with subject title “I’m interested” to [email protected] and I’ll send you all the details.

There’s just 14 exclusive slots available.

4. Last chance to grab my free LinkedIn course

Well, not quite, but almost your last chance to grab my 5 star LinkedIn course to get you from 0 to 50k+ LinkedIn followers here.

I’m withdrawing this offer at midnight 30th April (and the course itself too) so your last chance to download it is just 18 days from now.

All you have to do is sign up to my annual paid newsletter and you’ll immediately be sent a code to access the course for free. That’s £100 of value, right there.

Although…think about it…£100 isn’t the half of it.

Just think of the value you could truly drive from 50k+ LinkedIn followers.

5. It might be goodbye

To substack.

Not this newsletter, I hasten to add, I’m just considering a platfrom like BeeHiiv that will give me so much better functionality.

This will help me better deliver the content you’re looking for in a format that helps you get 1% better at Procurement every day.

The only constant is change. Stand still and you’re goinh backwards.

You don’t need to do anything, the migration will be seamless, and it’s not 100% determined yet.

I just believe in the ethos of building in public and if you want to find out more about why I’m considering this move, if you’re a paid subscriber you can direct message me here

Right that’s it.

Chairs up on the tables for the cleaners.

Is your mum/ dad/ carer in the playground waiting for you?

It’s home time!

Have a good one!
