Supplier Spotlight: Chanel Brown 🔦
The BOC26 networking event was just the beginning! Cory Mosley, CSP sat down with Chanel Brown, Supplier Diversity and Inclusion Manager at W. M. Jordan Company , for a conversation every small business looking to work with larger organizations should hear 🙌🏽.
Chanel shared that one of the biggest things she looks for from suppliers is simple: communication and follow-up.
Too often, businesses attend a networking event, hand over a business card, and wait for an opportunity to come to them.
Her advice? Keep the conversation going.
Ask questions. Follow up. Learn how to become more competitive. And don’t be afraid to approach the corporate partners in the room.
At W. M. Jordan Company , Chanel says supplier engagement isn’t about checking a box—it’s about building relationships, providing resources, and helping businesses become better
positioned for opportunities.
And that’s exactly why she keeps coming back to BOC: you never know who’s going to be in the room!
