Basic Operating Premise - I am the client!
Back Up Premise - I have done your job before, I know what can be done, don't argue, just fix it!
Final Premise - You will not win because I am the client!
Maybe you can guess what happened...yup disagreement with a vendor.
Its so funny when you can see it coming! Even my boss laughs and says, these people have no idea who or what they are messing with when they start up with me.
A brief synopsis of my work experience would show (in no particular order):
Licensed insurance representative
National Account Manager for a major medical carrier
Brokerage house
Executive deferred compensation
Now firmly entrenched on the employer side
I've done this before!!
Final advice...don't bring a knife to a gun fight!
And we're off...
