Where to place the focus in talks with a contract packager

Poor execution wastes the time of both the service buyer and the provider when solutions are brought quickly to the table without first having understood the problem.

CPG companies that stick to a methodical plan to match current and future needs with vendor capabilities, and that also look with a wary eye at any unrealistic claims pushed in the early stages of partnership-forming, stand the best chance of getting solid, long-lasting results from contract manufacturing and packaging.
