As always, so enjoyable. Thank you for my Monday morning shot of adrenaline.
I can't count the number of times companies call me asking how to even respond to an RFP.

The RFP makes everyone feel comfortable but it points us in the wrong direction. We need to distill our choices down to a few partners and then be detectives and find their existing customers to really understand what it would be like to partner with them.
