Iโm the decision maker but I want to run it by the CEO (or whoever) as a courtesy = I make no decisions and Iโm trusted with no money, ever. I will also be denied this purchase but will string you along for as long as you will allow.
I think the owner will be on board with this. = This project was never alive in the first place.

Sometimes you're the one put on hold and sometimes you're the one they are really looking at. Happens.

This is a fantastic thread. Iโll contribute.
โWeโre going in a different direction but youโre an amazing sales rep. Let me know if you ever want a job.โ

โIโm flattering you because we were never gonna buy in the first place but I feel a little bit bad that you sunk weeks into trying to cling to the rope I lead you on with. Also if you ever do reach out about a job Iโll ghost you forever.โ

We will select the top three vendors and then pull in procurement - really means, we will pick our favorite and then bring 2 others along to see if we can drive the price down.

Unless they let you know you lead, in most of these cases, you're the fodder, from my experience
