When to Fire Your Vendor?

Postby forumadmin on Tue Oct 02, 2007 10:02 am

As an entrepreneur, if you haven't already experienced a vendor who has cost you business, your chances are high that you will. Each of us has our own tolerance level for vendor mistakes, but when do you reach the point when enough is enough? Share your examples and best practices...

Great question!! We're going through this right now with a firm we work with. In my opinion, the best time to fire a vendor is after finding their replacement and giving them a chance to improve. If they don't rise to your calls for improvement and you're setup with another vendor, then you can jump forwards instead of backwards.
