No quote here - just a rant.
I'm firmly convinced that there is a real lack of professionalism in the market place to day when it comes with dealing with prospects. If they can't honestly tell you the truth up front, then why do they bother at the end to tell you they don't want your product or service. Why don't they just go quiet forever and then you want waste anymore time on them. I know why - they don't wnat to burn a bridge for if their decision fails, then they have recourse. What they don't understand is that you get to the breaking point on the time and money and lost opportunity costs on other deals that if they do come back to you, you want to tell them to bugger off. But you can't because you need the deal. What a vicious circle.
