Off the bench!!!

12 May 2009, 17:54

Just had a call from a previous client I had a meeting with 4 weeks ago and they want me back!!! Going direct with a great rate (considering the recession) start in a few weeks.. Although I won't be comfortable until contract is signed..

Been on the bench 4 months so its a welcome relief

Well done for making a client so happy they call you back!
You earned this yourself.

Drivelling in TPD is not a mental health issue. We're just community blogging, that's all.

Very nice Thats what business is all about. Hopefully more people will take notice and do just that -- sell themselves well and go direct
