Scorecards — who actually delivers

On-time and in-full, measured rather than remembered, is what gives you leverage at renewal.

In this lesson

Measured, not remembered

Hoda keeps score on every supplier, not from memory but from the deliveries themselves. The scorecard turns a year of lorries and short counts into two numbers anyone can read.

The first number is on-time: did the delivery land on the date the order promised. A vendor who is always a week late is a vendor who is quietly rewriting your programme.

The second is in-full: did the whole order arrive, or only part of it. A supplier who ships ninety per cent and calls it done is costing a second delivery and a second wait.

Together they rank the suppliers the studio actually relies on. The names at the top are the ones to give the next order to; the ones at the bottom are the ones to have a conversation with.

Measured performance is what gives Hoda leverage at renewal. A price held over the phone is a favour; a price held against an on-time record is a negotiation.

The habit that matters

One habit worth building: read the scorecard before you place the order, not after the delivery goes wrong. The vendor you choose is the cheapest part of the decision to change.
