Dear Security Decision Maker,
I have not seen a response to my email that I sent yesterday informing you that I am unable to travel to your location for a meeting, dinner, and fun activity. I do apologize but due to my executive leadership and senior leadership taking unnecessary trips that resulted in a significant amount of wasteful spending and expenses, there is no expense budget for meeting and entertaining customers.
Please understand that our executive leadership is still asking for an update on the status of our proposal and where you are at in making the decision to go with us. I understand you are out to dinner and fun activity with our competition but would appreciate your attentiveness to our proposal.
If I survive this upcoming next round of layoffs, I hope to be able to take you and your team out to lunch in the near future. Preferably somewhere that has value meals for everyone at $5 or less per head. I look forward to hearing back from you.
Sincerely,
Your cheap, no-fun, and no-swag giving Cybersecurity Sales Specialist
