What goes wrong in financial services
- Trusting affiliate-fee-driven 'best of' lists at face value.
- Choosing on feature count instead of category fit + stage fit + retention strategy.
- Over-weighting marketing polish vs operator track record + transparency.
- Skipping the free audit / trial — sales decks routinely overstate competence.
- Locking into multi-year contracts before the relationship has earned the trust.
What to track for financial services
- Methodology depth — does the vendor publish their framework? Black-box vendors fail accountability.
- Senior-consultant access — who actually works on your account beyond the kick-off?
- Stage-fit — does the vendor's typical client match your stage?
- Retention strategy — what does the vendor do beyond the initial engagement?
- Transparency — is pricing, scope, and reporting visible from day one?
