Feel like begging clients as a sell-side

Title says it all.

Whenever my team is pitching deals or asking clients for information, the way clients interact with us makes me feel like a beggar. 

Why the fu** is that? Clients think that they know it all.

Maybe because you are begging. Don’t beg. If you can add value then you can add value. Up to the client to make the decision
