Wheeler Dealer Group

I work for a group that has a bit of a “wheeler dealer”/lowball mindset. I was recently promoted to more of a sourcing role, and I’m finding that deals that were submitted an LOI on rarely meet pricing expectations, and offer generally poor terms. That that I am “market facing” I fear that this is going to reflect poorly on me, especially since I’ve been implored to source via my network…

Has anyone been in a similar position, and how have you dealt with it? Did you leave? Push internally for more “market” terms?
