Nothing, if they don't have the money, they don't have the money. The only thing you can do is show you can do it faster and cheaper and perhaps offer a fixed price.

They have the money. Don’t lower your prices. Keep looking for new clients even when busy. I can almost guarantee that the offshore solution will cost them more in the long run.

It’s a sign that the finance people are running the show. I’ve seen that movie, and it rarely ends well.

This. In my experience the offshore outsourcing has always cost more in the long run
