TranslateWhat I want from the vendors I deal with
The community is a great place for vendors like IBM, Dell, HP, Cisco and well any company to get feedback.
The water cooler area is no expectation to this Justin Davison has just posted a great article (well a rant) about “What I want from the vendors I deal with”
So a couple of conversations I have had recently and a flood of invitations to seminars and meetings have gotten me thinking about what I am looking for when dealing with vendors at seminars, in meetings, and even in the SpiceWorks community.

Please don’t read me the marketing brochure, I am very good at reading and if I am actually interested in your product I already have reviewed your marketing materials in literature and on your website. I want the meat, I want to know how your product or service does what you claim and I want to know how it will fit in my organization. Be ready for technical questions, if I have taken the time to meet, attend, or interact with you in the forums it is because I want that technical knowledge.
