I also do love when you email the ceo after a โ€˜noโ€™ from their colleague and they CC that colleague into the email with interest. That my friend always deserves a chilled beer to sink in the satisfaction.

this cant be more accurate on an enterprise deal i'm working right now.ย  I've legit been on the one yard line - the other players keep calling and asking if we are ready to go, and I'm basically telling them their gatekeeper is the only thing keeping us from going live.

NICE!!! This is how you close in insurance 98% of the time. You gotta take the prospects out, get them shitfaced, give no fucks and shoot your shot.
