Will someone from W+K hire me for a day, so I can get a job somewhere else? I’m 100% serious.

Hi Sharks 🦈,

Need some suggestions: My current company is on a layoff spree and 2 rounds are already done and I can foresee another round coming very soon.

While I am trying to switch to other companies, I’m not able to reveal the real reason from my side for the job change, as if I say, it’s because of layoff fears than it’ll reduce my negotiation power.

What other reasons can I give as I’ve just completed 9 months here and it’s too soon for any other company to take me in.

Feeling really overwhelmed and wondering if anyone else has struggled with something similar: I’ve been with the same company for about three years and I feel like it’s time for a change of pace. Poked around on LinkedIn and there wasn’t a single listing I was interested in that I felt genuinely qualified for. Did I somehow fall behind or does everyone just have unrealistic expectations?

I teach middle school reading intervention, but I am noticing a high amount of students at our school do not have any phonemic awareness. What are you best ways to combat this?

I can not teach a phonics class and I already pull small groups. Any resources? Wanting to plan over the summer for next year.

Thinking about trying to change into a career in new biz dev. What is the earnings potential of top new biz dev people in the US? For example “Head Of” or CMO level at well known agencies?

Hello biz dev folks! How are pitches going? I know summer is upon us but curious if the threat of recession is affecting anyone. I had my first client say they were holding off on an initiative due to that. But it could just be a good excuse. 😂.

Hello! Anyone using Covideo or BombBomb to do video email? Or is this too lowbrow for our business?

I've been starting to work more in new biz at my agency and the president said in a meeting this afternoon that he wants to increase our close rate to "at least 50%" once we're at the pitch stage.

Has anyone ever attended one of these events put on by companies like Richmond events? These are the events where they invite CMO types and agencies and other industry suppliers get one-on-ones.

Anyone know of or use a good pitch strategy guide/template that helps focus and structure the final deck? Any best practices you could share would be appreciated. Thanks!

Is anyone landing new biz these days? If you’re landing new projects with existing clients, that’s interesting. But what about new logos?

Besides the infamous google sheet and Glassdoor, where are you all looking to make sure you’re been compensated appropriately? I feel like our little niche is tricky to do proper comp research on, but it’s possible I’m missing something…
