Tell me you’re not buying without telling me that you’re not buy…

“The POC went great and out performed all of your competition! We just aren’t sure if we want to pay 10% more than we would if we went with another vendor…”


Word for word response. Spent weeks building our value, built them a business case, built and internal champion. Literally could not have done more to bring this deal in.


Happy Monday!

You've really outdone yourself on this thorough presentation, but the other vendor goes to church with someone on the committee.

Haha. Exactly! I’m so pissed at them and the other vendor… I really want to do some vendor bashing in the comments… must resist…

I need to run it by our CFO. I do not have signing power (when they previously stated their signing power is higher than the dealsize)

I used to sit in complete silence bc of my ADHD. So I've been experimenting a little with low music in the background or CNBC low in the background. I still got things done, and I didn't feel overstimulated or distracted.
