10. But we DO have a solution…isn’t that what Mary down in accounting does?
9. Hey, it’s a “cost of doing business”.
8. It’s the distributor’s fault. They are out to squeeze every dime they can from us.
7. The Regional Sales Managers take care of that. They all have their own way of handling it, and it seems to work for us!

3. The vendors who offer a solution don’t know my business, and their solutions won’t really work for us.
2. We simply don’t know where to start
1. Its hard…its really, really hard
What’s YOUR excuse?
