and the stupid thing was i did it twice. Idiot i am. i thought i had forgotten to click submit and didn't post it the first time when i notice my first post wasn't there. So posted again and it was my third violation so got banned. And all because that holmes's site existed (never knew that)

i think it turned out NOT to be a real megadeal, but a gigaflop.

My REGULARDEAL turned into a NANODEAL when a client forgot to pay. I shut their site down today and had my very persuasive psychologist friend call the client's accounting dept. It's fun listening to him, but Wednesday will show if his techniques worked.

BTW, it worked. They paid immediately and came back with more work. They'te not getting anything without prepayment.This friend of mine is a negotiations trainer. He was at my place when I tried to resolve the issue. He called them as my business partner, made the woman in their accounting dept. feel guilty talking about his employees who are waiting for the money, then when she had enough of his blows he turned to a nice guy, almost befriended her and suddenly made her promise she would personally take care of the payment.
The guy is good, it was both entertaining and educating listening to him.

(Jul 8 05, 05:50)sorry, but "fried air"? i don't follow. did you complete the project and it all went through ans such, but then the client didn't use it or promote it in any way? is that what you are saying?
- stewart0
no madirish.
1. it's not my megadeal
2. with 'fried air' i try to say that "megadeal", "super-deal" and "interactive brand solutions" are heavy terms for this little chatapplication on a tv stations website.
3. 'fried air' is probably a too direct translation from the dutch expressioin 'gebakken lucht' which means something like "sounds like a lot, but finally turns out to be nothing"
