Vendors are a clever bunch of folks. Whether they are selling learning technology, content/courses, or even learning systems.

There are vendors that unless you have a minimum of 1,000 end-users (regardless if they are employees, customers, etc.) I know of vendors who will go below 1,000, but their “sweet spot”, the number they really would prefer is a minimum of 1,000.
