Usually my turn time on small business deals is less than 10 days. This deal took over 40 days to come through, and I attribute that to the cadence I kept up with to bring him home. While it would've been easy for him to put me completely on the back burner and forget about our deal, I kept "professionally reminding" him of his pain points every week or so to keep myself top of mind.
Never give up!
