Catching up with a key client
Good to see you again! How was your weekend: did you get away at all?
Quiet one, thanks. Anyway, I won't keep you: where are we on the rollout?
Let's touch base on that. I'll be candid: the timeline isn't entirely realistic as it stands.
Reading between the lines, you'd like more time?
Let me soften the blow: two extra weeks and we'll meet the deadline and reach a consensus on scope.
With all due respect, can we shave that to one? Otherwise it won't move the needle this quarter.
Let's think outside the box: I'll phase it so we get the ball rolling now. We're on the same page?
