VENDOR/
ENGLISH
“This is A Win/Win"
You didnt beat the hell out of me on price, and god how I love you for it.
"We are strategic platform for your entire organization"
We will own you, your data, and your little dog too
"We are not a vendor, but a partner"
We are a Vendor
"Our Value Add"
Those one or two things that we do different from the other 1000 vendors out there
"We are endorsed by your local association and/or user group"
Theres a good chance that I wrote a check to someone to be able to say that, and they will get a cut off any money you give me, and by the way, given a choice, I would rather be a partner with the Soprano family
"Our system is not compatible with 3rd party systems"
We want you to believe that we own you, and despite the fact that we sold you on our "open architecture" our system is more closed than Chik-Fil-A on a Sunday
"We provide a total solution"
We are one or two features behind the market on our technology so we compensate with Professional Services offerings
"This is cutting edge technology"
Beta Version
“Its coming in the next release"
I hope to all that is holy that this is coming in the next release
“Wow, thats really thinking outside the box"
You are an idiot
“Our RFP Response is Comprehensive, It tells you who we are as a company"
I have no clue what you are trying to pull off so I threw the kitchen sink into our response
"We are a best of breed solution"
We dont do much but this one thing
"Thats a pretty aggressive timeframe to be implemented"
Holy Crap, No Way Are You Going to Make that date
"So You are a consultant, well have a great time at the trade show"
Please get the hell away from my trade booth and get somebody in here that has the power to buy something
"This guy wins our door prize"
This guy has my contracts and is ready to sign
"We provide a platform"
We have two products
“Instead of providing you a local reference, I would like to provide you with a reference that shares more of your operational characteristics"
We dont have a reference in your area

"Don't evaluate about the price in absolute turns. Think about the overall ROI our product will deliver over the next few years."
The price tag is eye-popping, but I hope you're stupid enough to believe that it's justified by unquantifiable savings that, in reality, you're not going to realize.
:-)
Ok, just asking, but did I throw this one on you at some point Gilligan?
