Skipping the free audit / trial — sales decks routinely overstate competence.
Locking into multi-year contracts before the relationship has earned the trust.

Retention strategy — what does the vendor do beyond the initial engagement?
Transparency — is pricing, scope, and reporting visible from day one?
