Description

Ever wonder why purchase orders matter so much—even if your vendor already gives you one?

In this episode of the Interior Design Business Podcast, I’m breaking down everything designers need to know about purchase orders. From avoiding costly mistakes to qualifying for top-tier vendor relationships, this episode is your blueprint for professional, profitable systems that support your business at every level.

If you’ve ever scribbled an order on a sticky note or relied on a vendor’s invoice as your record, this is your wake-up call. I’m sharing the real risks, the financial wins, and the step-by-step clarity you need to implement purchase orders the right way.

In this episode, I cover:

  • Why vendor invoices aren’t enough
  • The real cost of running blind (and how to fix it)
  • What makes purchase orders a contract—and a safeguard
  • How to double-check every charge and stop profit leaks
  • The systems that unlock vendor trust, credibility, and profit
