Yeah longer sales cycles, more eyeballs on approving spend. Not fun. Gotta be thorough and ensure your buyer knows their process. Has it changed? Who needs to approve? Do they have a cooling off period before they can sign.

Nobody can afford to make a mistake, so there's more scrutiny all along the line.

Discussion

During a trial I like to...
53% I'm the captain of this deal, I call the shots!
25% I'll step aside and let the brains do the tough stuff.
21% We don't do trials...our shit sells itself!
1% I'm different...(explain in comments)
