Be Easy to Work With - Part 6 of 6

After working at a full-service marketing firm for 17 years and then another 9 years in corporate America–I can tell you, everyone wants to make it easier to do business. 

1. Be transparent on pricing 

2. Don’t try and commit to long terms

3. Stick with the prices you provide

4. Have fun

5. Provide unexpected value

6. Tell stories about real results 

People know real stories when they hear it. When talking to any business partner, especially a new vendor partner, businesses want to hear if you’ve solved a problem they have currently for any other business, what it cost and what was the ROI. These are not easy conversations, but they separate those with results from those who may just be blowing smoke.
