Buyers today don’t just track activity — they monitor outcomes.

And if your data isn’t accurate, complete, or contextualized, it’s harder to stand out — or even stay in the program. 

Here’s what we’ve seen top suppliers do to get credit where it’s due. 

Start with what the client sees 

Most enterprise buyers have access to dashboards that track: 

• Time to fill 

• Submittal-to-hire ratios 

• Onboarding delays 

• Invoice accuracy 

• Contractor performance feedback 

Even if you aren’t seeing the same view, assume they are. When you’re in sync with that lens, you earn trust faster. 

Clean data builds credibility 

We’ve seen small mistakes become big friction:  

• Misspelled names 

• Incomplete documentation 

• Wrong rate codes 

Every issue triggers extra work for the client. And worse, it clouds the true value you’re delivering. 

 When your data is buttoned up, the focus shifts to what matters: the outcomes. 

Tell the story around the numbers 

Raw data is just the starting point. Great suppliers: 

• Add context to fill time trends 

• Flag the reason for drop-offs 

• Highlight backfill success rates 

This helps buyers see your role as a partner, not just a number in the system. 

Don’t wait to be asked 

 The strongest supplier relationships we’ve seen? They’re built on proactive transparency. That means: 

• Sharing insights before the QBR 

• Asking how your reporting aligns with theirs 

• Offering to improve how you exchange data 

It’s a simple move that shifts the tone of the relationship from transactional to collaborative. 

Final Thought 

Your data tells a story when it’s clean, visible, and paired with insight. 

 If you want clients to see your true value, don’t just focus on what you deliver. Focus on how they see it.
