The deal

The sales team in a startup was jazzed after a great customer presentation. The startup VC had a prior relationship with the customer. He called the customer and asked if he would buy the system from them. The customer politely responded “No way. The meeting was only for market research”

Jena,

Many times companies go out of their way to please a prospect without knowing that all the prospect is doing is getting educated about what is in the marketplace. They don’t have an intention to buy.

Good companies can notice and observe this.

My intention was to bring this out in 50 words.

Best,

Raj
