Blorking

Taking a short break from a large piece of work I’ve been on for a few days now. I’ve built a new proposal format completely. Saying that every proposal I do is unique, but in the past I’ve used the same framework approach. This time it’s completely new. It’s a bit like writing a story. Work’s bonkers which is a good thing. Got loads of new clients; prospects anyway. All sorts of collaborative opportunities, really buoyed by potential. If I can convert 50% of these opportunities it’ll help me grow the business.
Currently working on a proposal to help these guys generate customers: Shicon. It’s taken me a while to get to a point where I think I know what they need to do! It’s interesting because we’re not talking standard affiliate program. The customer proposition is quite unique and the TA is very defined. It’s not a case of driving shoppers to a basket. This is a thinker.
I’ve also written my 6 month and 12 month dreamlines and really working towards those. These are dreams you want to become reality and by writing them down in a kind of task manager / to-do list it makes them more achieveable. So says Tim Ferriss.
Blorking then – blogging about working. Geddit.
The past week has been a long walk to new business, I’ve devised a new approach to prospect mining and remain hopeful that soon traction will take hold and Hatmatic will progress with a forward lean. Into a headwind – of this there is no doubt, there’s always been one – but one which we can confidently lean into.
With that in mind I must lean on.
