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.

Cory - Thanks for reading.
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.
