Client unsure about a pretty awesome execution, instead of saying we’ll work on it, account person blurts out to kill the idea and instead we’ll come up with a new one. WHAT IN THE ACTUAL FUCK?!

That’s a shame. Your account person should be present to champion the creative work and sell it into the client, not make snap decisions as a reaction to the client. Please know there are good (or at least better) account people out there.

I’d tell the account person that I’m very excited to see what new ideas they’ll come up with.

Did you talk to the account person? Not advocating killing work in front of client but sometimes they know something you don’t (at least that’s what they get paid to do).


Frustrating, but unless they are truly terrible at their job they may be saving you from something unseen

Who in the agency would you say has the ultimate responsibility to come up with the agency’s pricing & services model? Sales? Finance? Ops? Project Management? Other? (Context: we have an ongoing issue where a sales person will eagerly be coming up with half-baked solutions for a prospective client, and it always feels like a cluster F when they want to know what resources, budget, and time we need in order to execute said service - which they thought of in the first place!)
