McKinsey & Company I work for a niche consulting firm. When I hear we beat out Deloitte, Accenture, or McKinsey & Company for new work…I get an extra tingle of joy 😅

Probably the best DD line, and there are a lot of good ones

You probably win those for a good reason! MBB, B4 is often a lot of talk but are clueless about client’s content.

We sometimes respond to RFPs we aren’t actually interested in winning, and will put in less effort to win them. We are over staffed and have more than enough work. Tingle, tingle, tingle

Congrats OP! There’s more than enough work to go around so glad to hear you’re winning good projects against stiff competition.

Big companies also scoop up niche companies as they build their practice. One way to get rid of the competition - if you can’t beat them, make them join you.

Those big companies often give up small deals to focus on big ones.

Let me guess how your firm beat them. Did you submit the cheapest offer and the client is looking for how much they will spend on the project rather than the benefits!!!

Your comment is not very creative…just like a lot of the work many of y’all do for the client. Maybe that’s why the little guys win too - just saying o.O

I gained weight during my last relationship (probably around 30 lbs, and I’m 5’9”). Before my relationship, I felt like I could get any guy. But I’ve been single for 2 years now and it’s been so hard to date. I’m not sure if maybe I’ve lost confidence, but I legitimately don’t know how to get a guy to be interested. Any pointers?
