Your finance manager just gave notice.
Here's what you have 48 hours to capture.
The Complete Vendor Handoff Checklist walks you through exactly what to do — before the knowledge walks out the door with them.
One email. Instant download.
When a key person leaves, the obvious costs are easy to see: recruiting fees, productivity dips, onboarding time.
The vendor costs are invisible — until they show up on your P&L.
Missed renewal windows. A 22% discount nobody documented. An auto-renewal clause that triggered while everyone was busy with the transition. A tool replaced for $45,000 because the new hire didn't know the real problem was a training gap.
Per departure, at a mid-market company managing a meaningful vendor portfolio: $50,000 to $200,000 in avoidable spend.
You have two weeks. You can recover most of it. But only if you ask the right questions in the right order — before the exit interview.
What's Inside
The Complete Vendor Handoff Checklist is a 7-phase, 40-item framework for capturing and transferring vendor knowledge during a notice period.
Inventory and Triage
Build the complete vendor picture. Mark what's at risk. Find the auto-renewal deadlines before they close.
Renewal Intelligence
For every critical vendor: current pricing, how it was negotiated, what leverage exists, what the honest recommendation is for the next renewal.
Relationship Context
Not the account manager. The person who gets things done. Names, direct contacts, escalation paths, and the read on each relationship that took years to develop.
Satisfaction Truth
Which tools are underperforming — and why. Is it a product problem or a training gap? The answer determines whether you replace or retrain. That's a $45,000 question.
Documentation Transfer
Make sure everything captured ends up somewhere accessible. Not in the departing employee's inbox.
Relationship Handoff
Warm introductions before the last day. A cold email from a new person to a vendor rep who has never heard of them resets a relationship that took two years to build.
Post-Departure Verification
Thirty days after the departure: confirm the successor can find the contracts, know the next renewal actions, and has alerts set for every critical window.
20 minutes to read. 6–8 hours to complete.
