Scenario: Bloomberg are not flexible on price, and a investment bank client has said they are moving their custom to a cheaper platform. How would you deal with this and what would you like your outcome of the situation to be/ or rather what would you be happy with?
Scenario: You are brought to a trading floor of a company with your manager. While your manager is preoccupied with the client you strike up a conversation with another person who is using FactSet (competitor). You don't know much about the type of purpose he is using for. Would you rather engage the potential client and go for a sale or would you leave to go back to the office and for all in tense and purposes lose that potential sale?
