RANT: I f-ing hate RFPs

Not a question or anything, just a rant.

Big named account in my territory, engaged with them for meetings/demo, before the RFP release.

RFP released, done well during response and clarification calls, then my champ tells me the competitor is 75% our price across a 5-year TCO. Now one month till the date they were supposed to respond with results and gone cold, no responses to my phone calls, emails, etc.

Obv chances are they already are negotiating with the competitor. so damn frustrating.
