How does one go about telling a vendor they are simply a leech? Some vendors seem to want to jump on board JUST because they want some leads for a pethetic and starving business. They come forth with all these wonderful views of a working relationship and simply want leads with nothing returned the other way.

Tell them that you always look for win-win situations and relationships. Tell them the "win" that you bring to the table, then ask them to explain what it is that they bring.

The answer will either fall into one of the following three categories:

1. It will be something that you didn't recognize.

2. It will be nothing.

3. It will be the impetus for him to start contributing something.
