Comments on: The Ugly Truth About Being a Service Provider http://keysplashcreative.com/the-ugly-truth-about-being-a-service-provider/ The key to your success Tue, 24 Apr 2012 12:17:11 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.2 By: Scott http://keysplashcreative.com/the-ugly-truth-about-being-a-service-provider/comment-page-1/#comment-3293 Scott Sun, 07 Jun 2009 18:51:58 +0000 http://keysplashcreative.com/?p=1308#comment-3293 Like all great comedy, this wouldn't be nearly as funny if it weren't so true. I've been the customer and am less sympathetic to the service provider because they so often try wriggle out of providing a contracted service. I've also seen the case where a provider wins a contract by making a low-ball offer, but if you don't watch for changes during the award process, some rcontract equirements are dropped and the vendor recoups any losses by charging a premium when the "lost" requirements are discovered/needed afterwards.
