A potential customer asked me to fill out a 101 question "vendor assessment" profile before purchase.

I'm speechless. No.

@mperham in studio-level post, it’s not unusual to require a 400+ item assessment before the first POs are sent.

Charge 10x for the enterprisey privilege?

@mahemoff yep I requested 3x but same idea. “Your process will cost you”

@mperham I’ve seen that, including lots of detailed nit-picky security questions… followed up by a requirement that our app worked in IE6 and Windows XP.

My eyes couldn’t roll far enough

@mperham lol yeah. I took the time to do that once... Just to have them come back wanting SOC or ISO certs.
