Most agents couldnt tie their own shoelaces unless a supplier/bank did it for them.

Even globally, the sourcing role is still quite often practiced from a "buyer" frame of reference. But our profession needs to move in this upwards, higher-level direction. Keep pushing on these concepts. Everyone -- from the middle market to the Fortune 50 -- needs to better understand them.
