- Maintain a deviation tracker showing which clauses were agreed, changed or left open for each vendor.

3. Training and enablement

- Handle vendor queries on contracts, commissions, payments, platform use and leads, and resolve them within defined timelines.
- Escalate complex or recurring issues to legal, finance or the product team, and keep the vendor updated until the issue is closed.
- Maintain a query log with the issue, owner, status and resolution time, and use it to spot recurring problems and improve onboarding and training material.
- Track vendor health, including calendar accuracy, response time, conversion and client feedback.
