I want to become a buyer. What kind of skills are needed

After orders are placed the buyer is responsible to expedite delivery to assure goods are received on time as needed. A Buyer should be trained on details and a very organized individual.



A buyer look for a desired quality product at best possible prices. they have deep product, market and vendors knowledge and they always keep looking for more.Skills required are Negotiation, Judgment and Decision Making, Reading Comprehension, Persuasion, Critical Thinking, Coordination, Active Listening.

Buyers work in the Purchasing Department of companies processing requests for supplies through their suppliers. They evaluate quotations for obtaining the best quality for the best price. They interview salesmen who call on them trying to persuade purchase orders be issued to them for their products or service. After orders are placed the buyer is responsible to expedite delivery to assure goods are received on time as needed. A Buyer should be trained on details and a very organized individual.

A buyer for what ?

So you want to follow a career that you have no idea what it involves ??? that makes no sense whatsoever. How do you know that you would enjoy it, since you don't know what one does ?

hmmm... they buy? Seriously mate, could you at least add more information to your question so you can get some great answers.

Negotiate very well
