Vendor Reference Call

When the question of the amount comes up during the conversation, its best to say the amount than to be surprised and being out of your budget. You do want to make sure your open to the idea of the cost. The company isn't asking of the cost, then you have nothing to worry about in that case. A rough number can be given unless they specifically for the numbers to crunch.

I'm thinking more about it now and I don't think it's appropriate to disclose either...I think I'll just go with something general like "It was within our budget and we were very satisfied with the service we received for the cost." I don't want a comparison of prices, that is my concern lol.

Thanks Carine!

I wouldn't tell them how much you paid or a rough estimate, I would wait for them to bring it up. If it's higher than when you originally paid, see if you can get a discount for going back to them. But I would never tell a vendor how much you paid.
