Just one of those mornings

Happy frickin Friday! Hope all of yours are doing better than mine.


Just had 2 email confirmations of deals lost back to back

Another small Potential trying to change terms on something I just can't do (and already explained)

And an internal meeting about increased pricing going live from Monday.


And all before 9.15am


Don't worry, I'm a pretty positive guy. Going to focus on the wins this month already and coming in, challenge and learn from what I can from the deals lost, create my value prop for why new pricing is actually better for our customers and prospects (and more % commish for me)....but God dammit let me have my coffee first

Shit, sorry to hear. Take a look and see if there are any ways you can improve from these deals and move to the next prospect!
Also, if you can, ask your champions in those deals about why they're going another direction.
You never know, your competitor could shit the bed and then you're back in the opportunity in a few months.

Yup taking and learning what I can from it. Already emailed for a call/feedback that'll help me help them better in the future if they were to review again. One of the elements is timing and changes also for one, but could also be an easy excuse. Thanks!

UGH. Not a great start to your day. Sorry.

Of course the flip side is those days when everything falls into place and you can't lose.

Damn, sorry to hear it. Rest of my September is dry unfortunately but October is looking promising if prospects decide to keep their word….HA.

Hope you can enjoy the weekend!

Ugh, the worst feeling! Take the day off and get some R&R and remember, at least you have an answer, even if it's a no.
