You can thank Joël Collin-Demers and his “magical end state” fantasy for this one!

To the tune of Rock And Roll Fantasy.

Here come the jesters, one, two, three
They’re all party to my RFP
I love the process and I love to woo the crowd
Promising the volumes with a reality shroud, yeah, yeah

Here come the vendors one by one
Your boss’ callin’ but you’re having fun
You find you’re swayin’ to the number 3 pitch
Ignore the risk assessor and make a product switch

It’s all part of your RFP fantasy, yeah
It’s all part of your RFP dream, yeah

It’s all part of your RFP fantasy
It’s all part of your RFP dream, yeah

Focus the spotlights, no one spared
Then comes the bidding, until prices pared
The reps desperate, you can hear them beg
Don’t want to pay much for a big goose egg

It’s all part of your RFP fantasy, yeah
It’s all part of your RFP dream, yeah

It’s all part of your RFP fantasy
It’s all part of your RFP dream, yeah

Fantasy!

Never forget that, in Procurement, you’re always in Bad Company.
