  Vendors to law firms will have to get the hang of pitching to Millennial partners. Baby boomer and silent gen law partners are resisting retirement. After all, funding decades of living without earned income from work is scary. Also, as is obvious, leaving the workforce turns professionals invisible. This is capitalism and human beings are their jobs. No title - wave goodbye to social identity. But eventually, Millennial partners will have the power and influence in law firms.

They will have to learn what we in corporations and as vendors already have experienced. For many new partners in law firms this is their first rodeo. That began in the 1980s when globalization ate into U.S. business' lunch and technology made middle management redundant. Today, the insecurity of all work is a given.    Here is where the law-firm newbies are now.

Maybe there is progress in civilization. Traditionally, there had been many many many of these faux expressions of concern in my well being. Perhaps that marketing tactic is vaporizing because of our lack of response. No, I didn't thank the invaders and wish them the same.

Rather it was to me as a vendor. Do the Chevy brand and GM brand have policies about how the vendor relationship - we are partners with their dealership owners and salespeople - is to be managed? Let's cut to the chase. I perceived myself treated poorly by salesman David Bradfield at Greenwood Chevrolet , Austintown, Ohio. The alleged harm done was not associated with a transaction involving the purchase of a Chevy brand vehicle.

Vendor : "Why don't you put it on the top shelf?" Vendor : "Can't you just adjust the shelf so my products fit?" Vendor : " No, that's what makes us unique. "

Vendors who can't mind read or intuit what the client wants will be out of business. This anti-nice is so prevalent that vendors who are nice come across as incompetent. In brick & mortar retail, one of the most unsuccessful industries, clerks wish us a nice day. We could blow up at that. Instead, we ignore.
