This is Cool!
(if I do say so my self!) We’ve just begun working with VendorRate – it’s a service that lets you rate those vendors you work with – and see ratings from others . So you can do research, see how others have worked with the vendors and a lot more. It’s a great feedback mechanism. Of course it relies on you – and this is the cool thing. We’ve added some key vendors, but you can also add others, rate those listed, etc. It’s very cool. Take a look here – and be sure to rate those you’ve worked with – it only takes a minute (it’s not a long bunch of survey questions or anything like that). Let me know what you think of the new service.
