Re: Create boards for pitches
by Mark Suszko on May 13, 2008 at 7:23:01 pm

I think rather that the lesson here is to know who the real client is before you tey so hard to please some low-level crazy person, you need the REAL client, I.E. the guy what signs the checks. It was unfortunate that you didn't know you weren't working with the real people in charge. It has happened to me before as well. I have a little haiku on my wall for this:

When I said "approved",
it's not like that is the end;
five more must sign off.

There is no sure fire way to know who the real authority is every time out, when dealing with a large organization. But one way is to see who actually signs the bill/check for progress payments. THAT is the person you really have to make happy.
