In this episode of the Advanced Selling Podcast, Bill Caskey and Bryan Neale relate stories from their client base about this very issue, what do you do when a longtime buyer feels compelled to interview other vendors?

As Bill and Bryan have done in the past, they break this topic down into prevention and remedy:

Prevention is what can you do to prevent this from happening again, and the guys give ten points of learning around that. Remedy is what do you do about it if somebody just, “Serves you the papers.” They’ve got a couple of thoughts on that as well.
