Please please please chase those POs
Noone knows how well the agency is doing until we see the bar bill at the Christmas Party 🤣 this resonates.....
There’s usually three spreadsheets: 1. The reality one seen only by CFO and MD. 2. The almost positive one shown to the Board. (Keeps both CFO and MD in their jobs). 3. The total unrealistic one discussed with the Staff. (Ensuring any hope of a salary increase is less likely than seeing pigs fly) All spreadsheets are subject to a differing new business number to be achieved. Inevitably the staff one is the most incredulous. Who wants to pay staff bonuses at the cost of the CFO’s and MD’s???
Coincidentally it's the time of year when clients panic spend to stop their budgets being cut in future. Silver linings etc.
That sounds like a typical sales meeting as well 🤣
Oh my god so good. I sat in these meetings for years. Only when we find out the bar tab of the Christmas party do we get a sense of how the agency is travelling 😂. The barometer of happiness!
🤣🤣🤣"and no-one knows what spreadsheet Patrick is looking at..."🤣🤣🤣
