The Vendor Client Relationship - In Real World Situations
This video went viral earlier this year. Over a half million people watched it in less than 14 days. Sad, but true – the vendor client relationship has been tough during the economic downturn. Clients are working to get more for their reduced budgets. Of course, you would never ask for these types of “savings” from your favorite restaurant, hair stylist or store. Some of my favorite lines:
“I don’t want you to work for free, it’s just a test…”
“I can cover the hard costs, but that’s as far as I’m willing to go.”
“This is not a challenge, it’s an opportunity.”
“Show us how you made it so we can do it on our own in house.”
The video was produced by Scofield Editorial, a production house in Indianapolis, and they’re using it as a new biz piece. Check out http://www.vendorclientvideo.com/.
So, what do you think? How do you respond to these type of requests from clients?
