Choose the right perspective
Match the person's category and marketplace to your question, since vendor management in grocery, fashion, hardlines or electronics, and in the US, Canada or Europe, runs differently. Check their level too, because a category leader who runs a whole category and a senior vendor manager who owns one portfolio see different parts of the work.
