   Michelle,
   I liked the program, but I would define the biggest probelms we have with vendors as follows:
   1. Communication: all the points raised with John and Perry were correct. I especially liked the idea of an annual meeting to revies lines of communication. Of course, this requires SEE #2 BELOW:
   2. Sales reps who don’t do their jobs. we have reps who fail to send in orders when written in our store, placed at market, or faxed to the rep’s fax number. Some reps have had our territory for 15 years or more, and have never been in our store; others, we may see only once every 4 or 5 years. If vendors don’t hire, monitor, and train their reps, the message I get is “Do I really want to do business with this company? Do they really want to do business with me?” Some reps are great, but they are few and far between. Most reps I know would go broke if they tried to run a store. They don’t know what hard work means.
   3. Vendors in competition with small retailers. I once asked the president of a company we buy from how I was supposed to meet his on-line selling price, when he’s giving free freight and no sales tax. His response was that I should cut my margin to meet his price. This would have removed another 15 to 20% margin from a line on which we only average a 37% margin at MAP pricing.
   4. Vendors who offer discounts and specials which narrow the small retailer’s margins. They are looking for greater market share, I understand. But in a market where you can only sell 1 bushel of apples a month, it doesn’t matter if the wholesale price is 15 cents and the retail price is 25 cents, or if the wholesale price is cut to 12 cents, but the vendor wants the retailer to sell the apples at 20 cents. To this retailer, all I see is that I will sell the same number of apples, only at an 8 cent margin instead of a 10 cent margin. I certainly won’t sell 20% more apples. What favor did the vendor do me?
   5. MAP pricing refers to advertising. But with coupons, “store-wide sales” and discounts for using a company’s own credit card, the actual selling price of many items is far (5% to 25%) below MAP prices. Most small independent retailers work on a gross profit margin of around 42%. When vendors allow our competition, bont on-lne and in-store, to sell at the discounts they very regularly offer, we cannot compete, and still make enough money to stay in business. I often feel that vendor deals and discounts actually hurt my business more in the long run, than they benefit it in the current selling period.
   6. Vendor inconsistencies in their policies toward retailers. They offer “discounts” to buying groups, such as HTI and Gourmet Catalog, then offer the same deal, or even better deals to “select” independent retailers. This doesn’t even come close to the inconsistencies in policies between the independents and the department or big-box stores. This pertains to pricing, to discounts, to advertising allowances, freight allowances, return policies, and especially to credit. It seems to be a whole lot easier for a vendor to “put the squeeze” on a small retailer for a few hundred dollars which may be only a few days late, than for them to worry about the larger debtors who may owe tens or hundreds of thousands and may be 90 days in arrears. Most vendors will deny this, but if you could see their books, I guarantee it’s true.
   7. Vendors forget what every smart retailer knows. “You must satisfy your customer (the retailers) in order to have an on-going relationship.” When the vendors ignore or sleight the needs of the retailers, they only hurt themselves. Very few vendors ask the question we ask almost every customer “What can we do for you? What is it you need from us?”
   8. If there is one lesson to be learned from the current economic recession it should be that sometimes companies must choose between satisfying the stockholders and satisfying the customers. What the shortsighted ones forget is that if they don’t satisfy the customer, there will be no income to pay the stockholders. I get really tired of hearing “The independent retailer is the most important segment of our business,” then having vendors act as if the opposite is true.

   Michelle –
   Congratulations on an excellent start to your series! We look forward to hearing the coming topics and episodes.

   It may be a regional difference, but our experience is different from Michael’s, in that we feel that the large majority of our manufacturers and reps do a very good job of taking care of our needs. And, we feel that in most cases, they have been improving over the past several years.

   We do not use a standardized PO protocol, but try to work within each suppliers’ organization to maximize our opportunities. One example is backorders. Although we do not normally wish for a manufacturer to hold our order for completion, IF sending it piece by piece as available would result in high freight, we prefer to have them hold. Likewise, although we normally go through a sales rep, if our experience is that orders are delayed or less accurate when sent to the rep, we will send direct to the manufacturer.

   From our perspective, if we can understand how a manufacturer works best, we will try to follow whatever relationship results in the best prices and relationships long term.

   One continuing problem that has not been mentioned elsewhere occurs when a manufacturer changes rep groups. We would appreciate having a supplier contact us about the adequacy of representation before making a rep group change. In many cases, we have lost track of a line because they have changed from a rep group that calls on us regularly to one that we never see or hear from.

   Overall, we feel that in this current economy, more manufacturers are doing a better job of communicating with us and are providing an adequate rep experience.
