🛒 Sale
Buyers work for offices or retail stores purchasing products and supplies for a business to either resell or use in the office. They take inventory or work with executives to determine which products the business needs. They’ll then conduct research to find the best product within the company’s budget. Buyers will negotiate a price with the suppliers, track the order’s progress after purchasing it, then add this item to their inventory. Some Buyers who work in offices meet with several departments to determine their supply needs and will make the necessary purchases to help the office remain productive and efficient.
