Been very busy the entire week. Had been preparing a proposal for a pitch and it was very interesting working on it, though it got very tiring at times. I am glad that the entire pitch process went very smoothly and peacefully, except for that final moment, when I was about to make the submission and I realized to my greatest horror and shock … I had spelt the client’s name wrongly … there was a single typo.
Very anti-climatic … I had to rework the covers before I resubmitted the documents.
I have heard this phrase twice this month: Being Marketers’ we are extremely bad at communications. That’s coming from 2 marketers.
Too many egos, too much smarts to be rationale about things. It’s when things sour, that a simple chat over cappuccino can do wonders. It’s not about long emails, not about raised voices … it’s simply a casual chat where each party feedback what they are feeling and listen to each other. By doing so, we see things from the other’s perspective and understand what constraints each are facing.
I have another conflict in my life to handle. It’s rather complicated and am glad that I am not alone to handle it. I want to quickly get it out of the way to get cracking on the real thing. I simply can’t wait …
BTW, anyone knows a good designer cum developer …?
