This deal was extra sweet because the company I worked for tried to get them in the past but was sour on the previous salesperson. They were willing to give us another chance. Because I listened to the customer's needs and was able to bridge what they needed and what we could offer, I was able to sell a creative solution to my internal stakeholders, get the customer to see the value in my solution and ultimately sold a program that was then an annual event for my hotel. Our "product" didn't change, but the approach and salesperson did (me). This company ended up being one of my largest clients.
