By that i mean, if there is someone that you are considering doing business with but, you find out that they are friendly with someone else who perhaps doesnt have what you would consider to be good business sense, morals, etiquette, whatever, will their friendship with that person weigh on your decision whether or not you do business with them?

I have to say, there are (and have been) times when i havent done business with someone because of who they associate with in the industry and i was wondering if anyone else felt the same way about the people they like doing business with?

So, do you look at the people associated with whomever you may be considering doing business with and, if so, how heavily does that weigh on your final choice whether or not to work with them?
