But this is a really important client.
- —Every salesperson, ever.
In theory, only the most important, strategic clients of the firm are platinum clients: That five percent that accounts for ninety percent of the firm’s revenue.
But, on the lips of any salesperson, however, “Platinum client” really just means my client: the particular client — or client prospect — in contemplation at that very instant, however tawdry, pissant or strategically irrelevant it may be.
Particularly when it has just said “all our other counterparties have agreed this”.
