I think it would be important to record and review the exact language used. People have a tendency to speculate, project and misremember things. "Let us know when you have more traction," could easily (and wrongly) be translated to, "They said they want to work with us once we can prove growth," which is not the same statement.

If you asked someone on a date, and they said, "Get back to me when your abs are showing," would you actually surmise that you were a good match and just needed to do more crunches?
