My vendor rant relates to a salesperson’s response to my request for a quote for a reduced number of simultaneous users. I explained that we had to economize and cut back and his response was “Is there anything we can do, such as offer you XXX, along with your current XXX subscription, for no additional cost? I am trying to get creative and would be open to any suggestions or ideas.”
My (internal) response was, How about giving me the info I requested, not suggesting we pay the same amount and also receive a product we don’t want? His creativity left a lot to be desired. While he promised me the quote that same day, I had to send another email a few days later requesting the quote again which I didn’t receive for a week after my original request.
...
This same vendor once opened up access (unbeknownst to me) to one of their products for our entire campus for a month and then had the nerve to quote me usage stats as an indicator of interest then insisting we should purchase it. Boy that salesman...got an earful from me.

It isn't my list- the list is made by Library Journal.
Absolutely, though: Nominate her Kraftiness for 2010!
