New contract!!

2 December 2010, 13:18

3 weeks ago an agent contacted me. They were playing the hard sell. After seeing the requirement I had a good idea who the client might be.

I called the commercial director on the phone had a long chat. It was blatant cold calling. I undercut the agent by so much, beautiful.

3 weeks later we have signed contracts. 2 fingers to agent please

The late night paid off. Now how do I juggle more than one job is the challenge or should I crack and employ someone....

It's not cold-calling if you've got a "hot lead" like that.

Good work though,
