12 Key Attributes of Highly Reliable Vendors

Attribute Explanations
Initial Consultations Reliable vendors offer free phone consultations (5-30 minutes)
to get fully acquainted with a new client’s needs and wants.

Relationship Focused Good vendors first focus building rapport with their new clients
because they know it’s “people” not “projects” that count most.

Boundary Based Successful vendors have “boundaries” with client relationships and
sometimes “fire” clients if they become “problem children.”

Referral Minded Thriving vendors seek referrals often because they know that long-
term business comes from “clients” not blind advertising.

Accountability Effective vendors are superb “crisis managers” and are willing to
take personal responsibility whenever they make mistakes.

Deadline Sensitive Reliable vendors have the clarity of purpose to turn down a new
project if they cannot meet the deadline requested by the client.

Process Oriented First-rate vendors focus on the “process” of each project and
resolve organic “sticking points” that happen along the way.

Value Driven Top vendors will “pass” on projects that are too competitively
priced because they refuse to fall prey to “low-ball” tactics.

Resourceful Reliable vendors are willing to “go the extra mile” with project
management and often iron-out snags caused by other vendors.

Problem Solving High-value vendors are great problem solvers and approach
each challenge with a cheerful expectancy to get the job done!

Optimistic In Nature Reliable vendors don’t criticize, condemn or complain about their
workload or any of their “higher maintenance clients.”

Networking Talent Great vendors have a personal “vendor network” that they are
willing to openly refer once a new client is demonstrated that
the criteria of the Client-Vendor relationship has been fulfilled.
