Vendor Customizes CRM Trial for Specific Needs
During the CRM vendor selection process, one vendor really went the extra mile to earn our business. They didn't just do a demo and then leave - they took the time to understand our specific needs and then customized a trial for us, showing us exactly how their system would address our problems. What impressed me most was how proactive they were: they set up multiple follow-up meetings to get feedback from our team, changed their solution based on our input, and even offered additional training to help us get the most out of the system from day one. Their focus on not just selling a product but making sure it was right for our business really stood out. It showed a level of commitment and customer centricity that gave us the confidence to go with them.
Supplier Redesigns Proposal to Fix Project Flaw
A vendor once caught a flaw in our project specs that we hadn't noticed. Instead of just pointing it out, they redesigned their proposal overnight to include a fix and squeezed their timeline by 10 days without cutting corners. What hooked me? They treated our deadline like their own. You don't forget people who show up ready to fight your battles, not just push paper. That's the grit I bet on.
Roofing Supplier Invests in Custom Testing
A materials supplier seeking our commercial roofing business arranged specialized wind-uplift testing of their product on a mockup of our specific application--at their expense. Rather than relying on generic specifications, they invested in proving performance under Southern California's unique coastal conditions. They brought their engineering team to our office, demonstrated installation techniques with our crews, and developed custom flashings for our most challenging details. What impressed us most was their willingness to adapt their standard offering to our specific needs before securing a single order. This collaborative approach demonstrated their long-term interest in our success rather than just making a sale.
