Wanting to get some advice on whether to walk away from a deal I am currently working, and I'll provide some context.
I've been in talks with this organization since August, and they're on the lower end I'd say in terms of their qualifications for the segment I'm working in. The main issue I'm seeing at this point is in most of our meetings especially with the head of IT, we tend to talk in circles. They name drop customers of ours, yet want us to do all of the work when it comes to implementation and setting up their instance, which has lead to a scope of work that's the size of an enterprise customer, not an SMB customer.
At this stage, they still don't feel like everything we've laid out for the scope of work is clear, and we're about to have our 5th meeting on this, for an organization of less than 200 employees, it feels excessive.
Should I continue to power through and find a way to agree with them on the scope of work, or walk away knowing they are wanting a ton of hand-holding from us?
