i reckon one of the few sectors that are experiencing growth in the current climate is advertising.. specialising in promoting small businesses...
alongside brazillions of other small businesses...
youll spend half your day telling people to leave you alone...
i usually ask them if theyve seen the advert (i pulled even the local rag, wasnt getting enough in, im on the net though)...
when they reply 'yes', i tell em its working then isnt it? why do I need you?
anyone calls up asking for the 'business owner'.. just cut em off..
some of em are sneaker gits too..
I took a call the other day...
'Hi, its blah blah company, we've got all the booklets printed and we just wanted to ask you which local charity you'd like to support, or should we nominate one for you?'
'do what you want..'
'you want us to nominate one?'
'yeh, why not, send em some cash too'
'ah! thats why were contacting you, we havent got your details..'
'what do you want my details for?'
'to send you the bill'
'what bill?'
'for the advertisement'
'what advertisement?'
'well we thought we'd contact local businesses and see if they want to go in the book'
'but youve already had em printed?'
'well, not quite, theyre juuuuuuuust getting em ready'..
'f'ck off'..
