At the outset of my facilities maintenance career, my elevator vendor was my favorite vendor. From the technician, to the sales representative, to the superintendent and the office staff – dealing with my vendor was fun, and they were all people I looked forward to working with.  If someone had told me I needed AuditMate’s services, I would’ve shrugged it off because I knew my vendor was taking care of me.

Fast forward some years, and I landed a job working with this same team as I pivoted my career to the niche specialty:  selling and managing elevator maintenance contracts.

Now, with the lens of hindsight and experience, I can definitely say that I could have benefited from AuditMate’s services in my previous role.  I didn’t know what I didn’t know.  I did not fully understand things like the differences between elevator contracts and service intervals, how response times and parts coverages were negotiable.  But primarily, I didn’t understand how these contracts were built to favor the vendor and to help continually increase profits, to the detriment of the equipment’s health.  As good as my relationships were, my elevator maintenance contracts could have been better.

Still, at the time, I would have hesitated to initiate Auditmate services out of concern of damaging the beneficial and amicable relationship I had with my vendor.  (Ironically, my old facility is currently an AuditMate customer).
