Binary business development
I’m following a particular development in direct mail which could be very important to its future. I’m talking to people about it, and trying to stay in touch with what’s happening. That means I’m talking to other stakeholders too, and some of them might be people I would work with, or recommend to others. One of those stakeholders has emailed me a few times in the last couple of months. The last email was from a ‘business development manager’, who asks me “by return”, to indicate “whether I would be interested in a quotation…or would like to be removed from the mailing list”.
It must be nice in your job sir, where the world breaks so clearly into ‘those who would like to buy from me now’ and ‘everyone else that I can wave goodbye to forever’.
