Client texted our team lead 5 min before the C-Suite SteerCo today saying he wanted me to attend as well in person. I'm either getting fired, or they think I know a lot more than I actually do 😳

Hi fishes,
Has coforge fired any employees in 2022?

Who in the agency would you say has the ultimate responsibility to come up with the agency’s pricing & services model? Sales? Finance? Ops? Project Management? Other? (Context: we have an ongoing issue where a sales person will eagerly be coming up with half-baked solutions for a prospective client, and it always feels like a cluster F when they want to know what resources, budget, and time we need in order to execute said service - which they thought of in the first place!)
