Vendor Partnering

You know you treat your customers well, but do your vendors treat you as well?

Entrepreneurial companies are long on energy and ideas but are often short on infrastructure. They need contractors—for financial services, tech support, marketing expertise, real estate savvy, and the like—that can function as true partners.

Turning Vendors Into Partners provides a few questions to ask any potential vendor.

  1. How focused will your company be on my company?
  2. Who will be working for me?
  3. What happens in an emergency?
  4. How do I know you’ll be there when I need you?
  5. How hungry are you?

Make sure you have answers to these questions when your potential customers come calling.
