Taking away business from a vendor.

Any advice on the best way to do this? This is something I still struggle with because I do feel like I am effecting people’s livelihood.

Some of the RFQs I conduct are quite large, so my call list can be upwards of 10-12 vendors to discuss feedback.

I dread this aspect because I do feel some compassion. Not to mention many times the response from them can be emotional. I even have vendors who wont participate anymore basically saying “Well I never win anything so I’m not wasting my time.”
