I told the prospect client that he shouldn’t start working with us yet.
Bad salesman?
Perhaps.
He’d been working with another agency for ~5 weeks and it wasn’t booming yet.
I told him it might be unfair to pull the cord on the project after such a short period. To wait another few weeks so they’ve got a good 8 weeks of work in.
A fairer reflection on their capabilities.
Could I have taken the client and got the pay day. Yes.
Would I have enjoyed more gold coins in the business account.
Yes.
Would I be an arsehole.
Yes.
There are lots of good agencies in the Amazon space. Many can solve your problem. Some may be able to solve it faster or better.
But at least give them a chance.
This was 4 months ago.
I don’t work with that brand today.
I assume the chance paid off, or he thought I was a fool and not to speak to me again 😂

Here’s a picture of me with a tree in Douro Valley to reinforce that things take time to grow.
