Procure Bites - Special Sunday Edition

Hello!

The growth of this newsletter has been phenomenal.

I’ve had nearly 1.5k people join this community over the past 30days. I’m not telling you that to brag.

I’m truly humbled. Thank you.

But one impact of this sudden growth has been I struggle to keep up with the queries I’ve been getting and it’s been causing me a bit of anxiety to be honest.

I want to provide you a first class service, but balance that with a full time job and busy family life (as well as my running life and fantasy football of course!)

I want you all to feel valued and part of this community so I just want to simplify how this works by answering some of my FAQs here.

Q1. I’ve mainly come here for the cheat sheets, how do I get these?

The link for the Free cheat sheets here is always published to all my newsletter subscribers every Monday.

Please note even if you’ve already downloaded from that link previously (260 of you have done so to date).

I’m updating it on a weekly basis to include my latest cheat sheets so it’s worth downloading again if you want it to be up to date and have all of them.

Q2. Do I have to pay for the cheat sheets?

No, you can get them for free by adding £0 at checkout.

I’ve put a nominal fee of £10 and many of you have been generous enough to pay for these cheat sheets. I thank you so much, this really supports my work.

However, I recognise not all of you can afford this so the free option is very much open to everyone and aligned to my values of sharing most of what I know for free.

Q3. I’m a free subscriber. Why would I want to convert to paid?

A special community of 225 Procure Bites legends have now converted to paid. It’s just a one time investment of £40 to get an annual subscription. Included in this package is

• exclusive access to all of my Monday deep insights articles. These are Procurement articles where I provide the majority of my research and experience to help you get 1% better at Procurement every week. These paid articles are specially tailored to you if you want to fast track your career and Procurement confidence.

• I prioritise feedback and article suggestions from my Paid subscribers via the direct message facility here. Free subscribers can of course leave comments against my articles.

In this course I teach you everything I’ve learned to grow my LinkedIn followers from 0 - 50k in the last 2.5 years so you can do the same, and faster.

Q5. What are the articles and their frequency?
