about
romancing your clients
the idea is to treat new business pitches like dates you had when you were single. you dont start showing them photos of all the girls youve been with.
you should show work you have done internally, but be careful that can come off like you're showing lots of photos of yourself to your date..
a first meeting, like a first date should be in a neutral place.. and who doesnt like a first date that brings roses?
and if you work for a boss.. I guess that is like living with your parents... and we all know its hard to get a date when you live with your parents. but hey, you gotta work with what you got, so if you do have a boss and you also want to romance clients.. get your homework done and sneak out after they go to bed.
so next time you are pitching a client; meet somewhere neutral; bring them a present, talk about them first.. then pull out the photo album.

Perfect. I have always used the dating analogy to describe the balance you need to strike during the pitching process.
BTW, it almost always helps to play hard to get in both worlds.
