Testimonials

"Having responsibility for the smooth, efficient operation of several multi-million dollar production facilities, I know firsthand the essential role played by procurement professionals.

Everyone assumes that the key issue in procurement is purchase cost, but there's another equally critical criteria: dependable and predictable supply.

If critical raw materials are not available when they're needed, production equipment and the people paid to operate it are idle. When a piece of manufacturing equipment isn't running, it's not producing saleable product and the workforce is being paid not to work.

During the years Wade Lnenicka worked in the Purchasing organization that reported to my group, I was always confident that timely supply was high on his "hit list" of critical importance.

This is not to suggest that Wade in any way retreated from an understanding of the essential role of cost effectiveness.

On the contrary, Wade and his group kept these essentials in tight balance.

I enthusiastically endorse Wade and his new organization and recommend them for your consideration."

"Terry worked with our company to establish new purchasing programs which resulted in significantly reduced acquisition costs while providing us with a wide selection of quality suppliers.

"It was my privilege to work with Wade Lnenicka for many years while serving as City Clerk for the City of Smyrna. When Wade was first elected to office in 1988 he set a very high standard for his personal professionalism and ethics, from which he has never wavered. Although his elected position as City Councilman is part-time, he dedicated numerous additional hours of his personal time over and above what would normally be required or expected. Wade chaired many of the top committees and played a key role in the redevelopment of our city. His honesty and integrity is above reproach and he has been an asset to the City of Smyrna."

"I have had dealings with Terry in my capacity as Vice President of Sales and Marketing for two large packaging firms. It has been my experience and belief that Terry is a true professional and is a credit to the purchasing/acquisition profession. I would highly recommend using the resources of Terry's company, BuyWell, Inc. as a way to; 1) reduce costs, 2) improve relations with suppliers, 3) improve quality, 4) improve service, and 5) improve overall corporate performance."

"I've known Wade Lnenicka for 25 + years, for 19 of which he was my chief assistant. Very early on, Wade displayed a keen grasp of the sometimes subtle nature of procurement and quickly became not just an "associate" but my sole "go to" guy for support, guidance and as a trusted "sounding board".

Chief among his talents is loyalty, not only to his employer and/or management, but to the guiding principles of honesty, integrity, and sound business practices.

Wade intuitively understands (and practices) the philosophy of "win-win" and the careful nurturing of long term, mutually beneficial relationships with suppliers. He knows the subtle, but harmful effects of an adversarial atmosphere.

To put it succinctly, were I in a position the need professional procurement and/or logistical support, the team of Wade Lnenicka and Terry Wallace would be my first--and only-- choice."
