BE THE LION
NOT THE LUNCH
NEVER let your trust for
a vendor get in the way
of your critical thinking,
business sense and
fiduciary responsibility.
Your vendor will NEVER
volunteer something that
benefits you more than
them – you have to
know what to ask for.
NEVER go into a
multi-year, multi-million
dollar negotiation
without doing your
research and having
hard market intelligence
in your pocket before the
negotiation!
