Curious if anyone has experience getting got ghosted for a week in the final stages of the 4 qtr, with a 10M deal…and procurement is not responsive  because they’re trying to source a crappy solution from a cloud partner that’s not gonna work… Or just me?

Accepted Answer

Maybe they are avoiding purchasing until next quarter to make the books look better?

Answer

Have you asked your champion “why”?

Answer

I think that's worth asking about.

Answer

Absolutely ask what’s going on.  And I’m not understanding the procurement issue - are they distracted by this issue, or is this something they’re trying to get in lieu of your product?

Answer

So what's the response when you ask em why, or at least when they'll be ready to take things further!!...OR the communication now is totally dead??
