This entire year- all 10 months of this year, you have hung on to false promises, rescheduled meetings, and listened to every excuse in the universe to convince you that your No-Po is a No-Go when it comes to getting something done for you.

You are convinced they are completely worthless and will never pull the trigger on a deal. Finally, you see the light and yes, you are right and now feel pretty stupid you wasted all this time. Wait- your No-Po time was well spent if you look at it as bootcamp time. It prepared you for getting to the Power Buyer -you learned so much about their organization to convince your Power Buyer that you have earned your stripes the right to their business. stripes
