I will marry you if:
✅ You buy me this big diamond ring 💎
✅ You get me that sports car 🏎
✅ You take me to all-inclusive Barbados trip 🏖️
✅ You pay for that tummy tuck👙
Done all that? Yes! But no, wait – I can’t say “Yes” until you meet these additional demands…
✅ You lose an additional 25kg
✅ You stop hanging around with your friends Mick and Chaz
✅ You straighten your teeth 😁
✅ You bench press 200lb 🏋🏻♀️
If I play my cards right, I might squeeze quite a lot out of you even though you’ve put a ring on it 💍
If you’re a #Salesforce Partner, THAT’S why you make sure you define Client Acceptance Criteria (CAC) and Client Acceptance Procedures (CAP) in your contract.
In my most recent newsletter, I talk about these terms, and how the CAC for contractual Deliverables is different than the CAC for working software.
Setting expectations correctly up front during a client engagement helps sets up the project for success.
If only we can apply the same concept to relationships in real life.
… but can you imagine trying to get someone to agree (or sign!) Acceptance Criteria for proposals of marriage, or friendships, or even parenting?!

I will only accept you as my mum if
✅ You let me eat junk food whenever I want 🍔🥤
✅ You let me play computer games for as long as I feel like it 🧝
✅ No broccoli 🙅🏻🥦
Or I’ll just stay in this warm cozy womb until you accede to my demands! 😵

And yes, I do talk about food quite a bit! 😁
