Mid-stage discovery call with a key prospect
A prospect asks about API rate limits and webhook capabilities. The rep doesn't have that level of technical detail memorized.
"Let me connect you with our SE team to walk through those specifics," the rep says. The prospect agrees but sounds less enthusiastic.
The rep messages the SE on Slack. The SE is in another demo. Two hours later, they send a detailed technical document via email.
The prospect opens it, but the moment has passed. The energy shifts. The deal doesn't stall completely—but momentum is lost.
Credibility questioned. Momentum broken.
