Grainger knows when you're a procurement manager for an office park, you're not managing one building.
You're managing all of them.
And to stay ahead, you need to see through walls and around corners.
Lights about to fail, filters ready to clog, HVAC on its last leg.
If you wait until something breaks, you're already behind.
Count on Grainger for quality products, easy reordering, and 24-7 support.

Before we dive into today's show, we want to tell you all about something exciting
that we are cooking up for later this week, tied to the launch of the World Cup.
We're calling up an expert to answer all of your unanswered questions about the big soccer tournament.
Or the big football tournament, potentially, depending on where you are.
We want to hear from you, whatever questions you have about the sports
or the geopolitics or the pop culture of it all.
Email us at theglobalstory at bbc.com.
With your questions, we'll be delighted to hear from you.
