It’s funny how your mind creates fears that are so unreal and tangential. I have never considered myself a sales person, but I’ve also not been afraid to connect with people. Well when starting Pinkhaus I was concerned about all the “sales” calls I was going to have to make and then going to see people to “ask for work”. What I’ve discovered is so enlightening – I don’t make any sales calls. Instead, I’m just reaching out to people I’ve known in the past and chat about really cool stuff, some of which is creative or work related. But it’s a subtext to the grander thing – a great relationship. And amazingly, work just happens. Jobs come out of interesting discussions, not sales pitches. I guess this is what they call Relationship Marketing. Now that I know, I wouldn’t have it any other way.
