I run an AI automation company and managed to get a meeting with the COO of a big energy and steel distributor. He was pretty invested in the idea until he asked what other clients I've worked with, and that's where it started going downhill. I've never worked with a company his size, and when I mentioned the biggest company I've worked with is an HVAC company with a few locations, he started frying me. Basically bottled the deal. After that he wasn't invested in the idea and I lost all cred...
