Instead of having the little black book with attractive women's phone numbers, I have the little red book with creative professionals email addresses and numbers in. (it's OK I'm engaged).
Who ever I phone, everything I learn e.g. email address, good times to call etc, will be put into this book a long with my actions towards you, such as whether I have sent you anything. I can also set a reminder for when to follow up an email or a time when I know its good to call them.
A handy aspect of this is I can also record my mistakes so that I know not to do them again. A howlingly massive mistake was replying to an email requesting a covering letter and CV and forgetting to attach it. I should have been beaten brutally for that one :s
I like. Why red though? Not green or orange?
ReplyDeletecan i be in the red book,

I think I chose red because it was the colour that naturally came to mind when trying to pick a colour that went well with black but wasn't the same.
ReplyDeleteGeorge, you are in the red book lol for people to stay in touch with :)
Cheers dave, if i was as organised as you and had a book you would be in mine also.
ReplyDeletejust to confirm, was that, keep in touch with or keep touching?!
