I admit that as Adelaide resume writers, it doesn’t happen very often and it seems to be a bloke thing.
A prospective client says he’s ‘gunna’ send his old resume or he’s ‘gunna’ pay the account or he’s ‘gunna’ get the first draft back to us by the deadline – and they never do.
We’ve even had people who accept the quote and account and then go on holiday for three weeks.
They think we’re AI robots and not humans.
We recently had a middle level sales executive who wanted me to call him about his resume.
I called, gave him a quote, which he accepted, and I sent him the account.
When the date and time to pay the account fell due, I emailed a reminder.
Prospective clients are not locked in until the account is paid.
We keep taking on more clients until we are full.
I didn’t hear back from him.
I sent him a text and he didn’t reply.
So I terminated the enquiry by email.
He got back to me within 15 minutes and said he was ‘gunna’ pay this morning.
Gunna, gunna, gunna, gunna.
Dead to us…
