Make Me Want to Scream!


A company in CT has retained me to retool their sales and marketing capabilities / strategy. After 10 years of flat revenue, they think they need a change. Ya think?

Anyway, I was supposed to be on site for meetings a few weeks ago but my flights were cancelled due to weather. So, we rescheduled for this week. Last Friday, I get a call from the saying his sales manager wouldn't be in the office this week and that perhaps we should reschedule for next week. Uh, yeah your ineffective sales manager should definitely be in our meetings. So, I change my flights and tell him I'll be on site next Wed/Thurs. All is good.

Wrong...I get another call from him this afternoon saying he forgot Easter was next weekend; he has family plans from Wed p.m. onward. Can I come up for Monday and Tuesday. Sure.... At least he told me he'd pick up the change fees outside of the contract (in which he paid me a flat expense figure). But Jesus, can you get your shit together??? No wonder you're stuck in no growth hell.

Okay, I'm done ranting. Now get off my lawn!
