You're in a late-stage enterprise sales cycle, and a C-level executive on the customer side is pushing for an approach that you believe will put the deal at risk if left unchallenged. Their view could create delivery, adoption, or commercial problems after signature, but pushing back too hard could damage executive trust and stall the deal.
Tell me about a time you had to challenge a C-level executive's perspective to save a deal. How did you assess the risk, communicate the trade-offs, and align stakeholders without losing momentum?
