startups, here's enterprise decoded ...
1. 'circle back' = dead
2. 'get it done asap' = 60-90 days
3. 'send me what I can share internally' = 3 bullets
4. 'this is exciting' = let me play a role where I can show how I helped shape this for us internally
5. 'send me your paper' = i will send you mine back OR be prepared for 4-6 iterations on your paper
6. 'how much time is needed' = 30min OR less
7. 'I will bring my boss, who's joining on your side' = I expect you to match seniority -- ie. your founder
8. 'No questions from my side" = I have no idea what just happened
9. 'This price seems fair' = this falls below what I had budgeted
10. 'Give me time' = stop following up mf-er, I'm on it
