Dave’ “Vendor Relationship Management” process works like this:

  1. Don’t try to sell him stuff… if you do I’ll NEVER buy it. Capice?
  2. If you stuff is good he’ll hear about it from people I trust.
  3. “Hey, can I try your stuff… I hear it’s good but I need to validate it… I’m more perceptive that a typical “user” and I leverage good stuff in my “work”.
  4. No promise or commitment I’ll help you sell your stuff (see rule #1).
  5. Hey, will there be any good stuff at Comdex? I’m ready to starting working.

PS> I could use a web service that allows me to write software and NOT have to support users by renting or buying stuff… I have too much stuff already. Afterall, there’s only one Dave and that’s too little Dave to go around.

Singularly special. But still working after all these years.

  • Investors for the idea of the month please contact be off-line and please don’t try to sell me anything.
