Slide-01

Strong Customer Service isn't that difficult to provide, but sure can be difficult to receive!

Most organizations are evaluated on their Performance & Experience provided, but don't
conduct reviews for improvement needed with their Core Vendors - whom they rely on (and pay) SO heavily.

Slide-02

Chains are only as strong as their weakest link!

To fulfill what you provide, you rely heavily on the Products & Services they provide.
But if you can't rely on your vendors, your Patients or Customers may not be able to rely on you!

Slide-03

You have your own job to do!

You pay your vendors a LOT to do their job - and simply need them to do their job - but that's NOT so simple.
ESPECIALLY AFTER THE SALE!

Slide-04

Vendor Code of Conduct has always been important, but COVID changed everything!

Relying on old "I acknowledge" honor system forms shall no longer suffice.
You need assurance your policies are actually being followed. Not just acknowledged!

Slide-05
YOU MUST CHOOSE...BUT CHOOSE WISELY!

There's SO much to consider when making these vital decisions for the entire organization.
We'll help with the best selections - and save You a TON of time by coordinating the project logistic steps.

Why VendorGrAde Performance & Risk Mgmt Services?

We help You achieve better performance, by receiving better performance!

 

Let’s face it…

Vendors providing good proactive care of you is becoming a relic of a bygone era.

Once upon a time, they took pride in their service and genuinely cared about the relationship.

And by keeping you happy – they kept you as a customer!

 

 

Greed is now the norm!

Despite you spending more than ever, vendors care about their bottom line and shareholders more than ever!

They want the sale of course, but NOT the expense or effort of providing proper service afterwards.  (Even if you’ve paid for it.)

 

 

How About You?

Consider the Performance, Reliability, and Service from Your Core Vendors.

Do they proactively and consistently ensure you’re having a good experience?  Or are they lazy/unresponsive?

Feel like you aren’t a priority, requiring wasted time being the squeaky wheel?  (Especially after the Sale?)

Do your Implementations go smoothly as promised?  (Have to prod them to get started?  Then for updates?)

Getting the most out of your confusing Support Contracts?  (Maximizing “Use-or-Lose” Entitlements paid for?)

Have meaningful QBR Meetings focused on your needs?  (Or do Vendors turn them into sales pitch events?)

With Risk Factors like COVID, are you confident that ALL Core Vendor Reps are compliant with policies?

What Does VendorGrAde Do for You?

Improve Performance, Reliability, ROI’s, and Risk Mgmt Compliance from your core vendors.
