10 Tips on How to Locate the Right Vendor
Whether you’re looking for a new web hosting provider, a credit card processing vendor or a venue for
your next meeting or convention, the process of finding a new vendor can be overwhelming. Many
companies focus on price, and while that is important, there’s more to a vendor than the cost of services.
Reliability, stability and customer service are all important components when making a decision on your
next vendor choice. While large companies may have backup systems in place should a problem arise,
don’t leave out the small businesses when considering new vendors. You'll get more personal attention
and, possibly better service and reliability, from your smaller suppliers. Here are 10 tips to help guide you
through the process:
1 – Outline Your Needs
Write down what you are looking to achieve with this vendor. If you have a current vendor, write down
what isn’t working for you, and what you want different with a new vendor. Be specific in your goals and
don’t leave anything off your wish list.
2 - Establish a Timeline
Set a timeline for researching and contacting vendors. You’ll want to possibly see demos and you
certainly will want references. Know your start date and get specific with a month, week or day.
3 - Assemble your Team
Delegate the process of vendor selection and implementation. Before you start the process of
researching vendors, create a committee to bring on the new company. Know who will work with the
vendor to implement their services and who will work with the vendor on an ongoing basis.
4 – Identify Vendors
Start searching for vendors in our directory. Provide each identified vendor with an introduction of your
company, and include your business needs. Request a specific time for a phone conference.
5. Speaking with the Vendor
When speaking with the vendor start a dialogue on what you needs are and ask if they can accommodate
them. Take note of how long it took to get a “live” person on the phone, ask about implementation time,
ongoing customer service, etc. After completing the call, make notes on how the company responded.
Were they pleasant to speak with, and did you get to the right person immediately or were you transferred
several times. Review the company's website, look for product demos (if appropriate) and take note of
any testimonials, FAQ’s, etc.
6 - Compare Vendors
It’s wise to contact a few vendors to see the differences in their products. You may not find one vendor
that can suit all of your needs; however, you’ll want to make sure the vendor you choose can
accommodate the key components you need.
7 - Set up Demos
Set up meetings for demonstrations and take detailed notes. Make sure the product and/or service will
accommodate all of your needs. Don’t settle for less or you’ll regret the decision later.
8 - Phone References
You’ve evaluated the vendors; now ask for a list of references. Before you call a reference, make a list of
specific questions about the service provided, set-up process, and the customer service provided by the
vendor. Is there any down time with the service, if so, how is it handled.
9 – Deciding on a Vendor
It’s time to make your final decision. Take into consideration the vendors pricing structure, service record,
and references from their customers. How do you feel about the vendor; do you think you can build on a
working relationship that will be beneficial for both companies? Make your decision wisely and don’t make
a “snap” decision that you may regret at a later time.
10. Communication
Now that you’ve established a relationship with your new vendor, keep the lines of communication open
between both companies. You can build a long business relationship of both companies are aware of the
current needs and any future needs that may arise.
