Our sales guy vastly underbid a job. Now it's my project to install the system in a way that's profitable. "Blame your customer for underspecifying the features then charge her through the nose for change orders." "Three million dollars for an electrical plug?" "The base model uses a potato battery."
"Per your suggestion, I asked our customer to voluntarily pay us more money to cover our bidding error." "It might surprise you to learn that our customer doesn't like that idea." "You probably made it sound like a bad thing."
