Last week's survey results...
 
As a small business operator have you ever dealt with a small supplier for many years only to find that when they become a big business they usually brush the small business operator aside only to be interested in the big orders and make you wait?
  • No. I've been in the industry long enough that most of the big players now, were small players then. The only issue I have found is that although I've been loyal to a couple of suppliers for many years, when times get a little tough, they rarely take into account your long term loyalty. They have years of trading history to look back on, but invariably they are only interested in the previous 60 or 90 days. It has forced me to change my thinking too. Rather than be loyal and pay a fair price, I have started buying on price alone as loyalty means zero to most account managers now, with one or two exceptions in the market right now. 
  • Can't say I have experienced this but I understand that it has happened with a couple of small suppliers who grow and then employ salespeople. Then you can lose that personal "one on one" relationship with the person who started the business.

Smile: It's only Monday!

Dr. Calvin Rickson, a scientist from Texas A&M University has invented a bra that keeps women's breasts from jiggling, bouncing up and down, and prevents the nipples from pushing through the fabric when cold weather sets in.
At a news conference, after announcing his invention, a large group of men took Dr. Rickson outside and beat the shit out of him.
