Selling Against a Competitor
Never forget that the cost of doing business is high.
The opportunity to respond to an RFP/RFQ (Request for Proposal/Request for Quotation) that lands on your desk can be tempting as it appears to be a good match for your solution.
However, in many cases it is what it seems, “too good to be true” as the buyer will already have seen or decided on the solution required and are merely using you to drive the costs of the competitor’s offer down.
The most costly deals are those you lose so before engaging in an opportunity step back and assess any situation carefully.
