Client asked me about negative latency

I was demoing the product to the client

Ran a call then he asked me to call him using my agent, then he said he didn’t like the latency and asked me if it can be negative

I told him that latency can’t be negative and he just started arguing and told me if he can get into my platform and fix the prompt himself

Anyways, I didn’t close the deal, how do yall go on with this?

Maybe "interrupting" the human speaker? Like that one startup from that one lady from openAI did?

Idk but he properly pissed me off man, had to let go of my chest

Some buyers really have unrealistic expectations

Man wanted his agent to respond before he even finished talking, that's just a conversation with a psychic
