Message: [QUOTE="cuseinseattle, post: 2220444, member: 2504"] I'm in sales and competition is almost always a good thing. It's gets people to do what the might normally do in a faster manner. It also leaves you without a lot of wasted time where you miss out on other opportunities. I'm a commercial real estate broker and if I say something like, "We would love to do a deal with you but we have anther group interested in the space too so I need to move reasonably quickly." If the person reacts by not moving any differently you are normally 3 or 4 on their list of places to lease and they probably will never sign the lease anyway. While you were waiting on their decision and not aggressively finding other options you miss out on other tenants to lease the space and the income that would generate. If you are truly a space the person is interested in they speed up and make a decision. [/QUOTE]
