Supplier Preferencing Model Matrix Template for PowerPoint & Google Slides

This slide features a 2×2 quadrant matrix housed in a rounded square, plotting ‘Attractiveness of account to the supplier’ on the vertical axis and ‘Relative value of the business to the supplier’ on the horizontal. Each quadrant is rendered in a distinct gradient hue—green for ‘Develop’, orange for ‘Core’, teal for ‘Nuisance’, and purple for ‘Exploitable’—and contains an icon placeholder alongside a headline and brief subtitle text. Dashed axis lines with arrowheads guide the eye, while soft drop shadows and subtle corner rounding lend a modern, polished look.

Built for rapid customization, all components are fully editable vector shapes. Simply swap icons, adjust gradient stops, or update text placeholders to define your own supplier categories. Alignment guides and master slide layouts ensure consistent spacing and branding across your presentation. The overlay grid and smart-art placeholders make it easy to replace dummy content with real metrics, objectives, or strategic actions.

Use this model to segment vendors, prioritize supplier relationships, and communicate sourcing strategies. By mapping each supplier’s account attractiveness and business value, procurement teams can identify which relationships to nurture, protect, deprioritize, or monetize. Whether you are presenting a quarterly sourcing review, negotiating service-level agreements, or designing a vendor management framework, this infographic clarifies complex vendor data at a glance.

Adaptable to other domains, this quadrant design can also support customer segmentation, risk analysis, market positioning, or product portfolio management. Duplicate or hide quadrants to suit three- or five-category frameworks, and recolor segments to align with your brand palette. Master slide integration and color-theme controls guarantee a seamless brand alignment across multiple decks.

Procurement managers, supply chain analysts, vendor relationship teams, and category management specialists will benefit from this slide when structuring supplier segmentation, sourcing strategies, or vendor performance reviews.
