When Vendors Don’t Click: Quick Tip

Julie’s QUICK TIP Takeaways 1. Spot the Stars—And Demand BetterRecognize the vendor partners who truly support you. The ones who go out of their way, like Zoe who braved a two-hour drive to keep her promise, are the ones you need on your team. If you’re not getting that dedication, don’t settle—escalate it to someone who will make it happen.2. Treat Business Like Personal RelationshipsRemember, this industry is all about personal connections. Your business relationships should be nurtured with the same care you’d give a friendship. If it’s not working, address it openly, and if it can’t be fixed, move on to partners who align with your goals and values. Your success depends on finding people who are in it with you!
