The final three are here! But I have to comment on #13. This is just a part of their divide and conquer strategy. Chances are they were initially engaged by the person who is looking for the solution, so they already know them, and that is enough. The reason they want all the names is for their future sales opportunities and to push for approvals, outside of your internal processes.

Some vendors are too stuck in their reputation to be open to opportunities they didn't have access to. Don't let it discourage you, because there's a vendor who will capitalize on the opportunity, and a dependable, reliable honest partnership can be established.

Beware of vendors that only have one tool in their bag. Some distributors will admit when their solution isn’t the best on the market. But, others will not. This causes negative issues and frustration when it causes misapplication of a tool to your problem.

Direct to vendor strategy your not doing which is costing you time and money.
