Spammit!

Admin Gal hates it when she requests information from a vendor, only to find herself on there mailing list forever. That was not the initial request.

Usually the request was initiated due to a phone call on the part of the vendor.

Admin Gal is not fond of spam.  The kind found in cans, nor the kind found in her inbox.  Her simple recourse is to set up a filter to trash everything she doesn't recognize.

If the next best thing since sliced bread is passed up?  You shouldn't have added me to your mailing list without my permission.

Dear Potential Vendor,

We here at ABC, Inc. realize that times are difficult.  That you are shaking every tree for any possible business opportunity.  Let us make a few points clear:

  1. Yes, our terms our non-negotiable.
  2. When we ask for X amount in liability insurance on your part, we mean it.  This is not a suggestion but an expectation of doing business.
  3. Yes, we do follow the governmental safety and quality standards as put forth by said agencies.
  4. Just because you went to school with the cousin of the sister-in-law of the CEO's estranged brother, will not automatically get you a coveted vendor slot.
  5. We have a prohibitively strict gift policy - NO GIFTS.
  6. Calling me everyday for 3 months will only make me annoyed.  
  7. Sending multiple emails a day, makes you SPAM.
  8. Sometimes, the answer is simply - NO.
Thank you for considering doing business with ABC, Inc.

Sincerely,
Admin Gal
