With VENDORS:
Seems to me honest professional business practices & standards are slowly fading away and are being replaced by slide of hand sales tactics/gimmicks.

A vendor I work with can't write me a proposal to save their life yet they have cornered the market and are making significant coin (got lucky with marketing a product). It's gotten to the point that I have to teach them how to engage in business with our organization and it just bewilders me. Now some readers may be saying, "hey it's just a bad vendor..right?" I'm working with their #1 competitor who is multi-billion dollar company yet cannot deliver me a proposal on their new product offering either. I'm not asking for the moon here. Just tell me why we should buy it, the benefits, who supports it and anything to do with financials. Both companies just want to cut to the chase and work out a $$ compensation deal in some word document without giving us the necessary information to make logical business decisions. Personally this just blows my mind. In the last ten years I've felt the professionalism in business has declined and is steadily getting worse. Just makes you want to quit business and become a sun lotion salesman on the beach.
