Phone message — We are looking for a super low budget publicist. Call me to talk it over.
Call me crazy, but that is not the way to start a conversation. And the message was left on my answering machine at 6:30 a.m. on a Saturday.
How conversations start is a good indication of how the relationship will flow throughout an engagement.
I think I will let this phone call go unreturned, and I wish the caller success in finding the right candidate for this sizzling opportunity.
What would you do?
Great comment Nancy. I’ve had these situations happen to me as well but didn’t handle them as well as your have discussed here. If I had only had your mentoring before. I’m so glad I found you.
