Today I spent most of my time in "selling mode" shadowing that bank I was pursuing for the portal proposal. Our presentation is this coming Friday. Fingers crossed. It'll be damn ironic if we pull this off and sell this, seeing that this bank is the territory of the dreaded 3 letter acronym.
But, as I have promised, this sale is supposed to be my parting gift to the firm.
On another note, I got a message from the Country Managing Partner who wanted to see me. "If you want, I will drive to Cyberjaya to see you". Brings a tear to my eye. Here we have, the biggest kahuna in Malaysia willing to drive out to Ulusville to see me, whereas the head of financial services in MY just "play dono".
The head of the "solutions delivery service line" also chatted with me and said maybe I shd just be straight forward and say what I want.. ha ha.. like I said.. it'll be nice if someone came up to me and said "karipap, from now on, you have ZERO sales targets, but you can be our Chief Architect and just go and kick ass on all our delivery projects. BTW, here's a wad of cash similar to an Assoc. Partner's salary".
Fat chance!
