Re: SPINning your way out of work

Hi, Marjorie

They know they can't do it without what we offer. I am sure they know
there are others who can help them, too.

Actually, it isn't what we can do that we are selling. It is what
they can do with the process we will create with them.

They claim to agree with the order of magnitude of the result, too.
Its just that they think in order to present it to the money guy, it
needs to have unquestionalbe details that match all their
assumptions. But, for the decision at hand, the details are
meaningless. That's where the dissonance comes in.

If I were to hazard a guess based just on what you've told us, I would guess they believe they can do it without you. Or the 70,000% is so fantastic that they...
