Likewise there is no better feeling in the world to win a big contact and leave hardly any money on the table. Or even better yet being the number 2 or 3 biddrer and getting the project for your price.
I think part of the allure of this busines is when you are under the gun and your bid is due and everybody is crunching and recrunching numbers. I was recntly part of a bid team for a pretty large (8 Figure) bid and it would have made for a pretty funny reality TV show.
