Do you think it’s weird that my colleague closed one huge deal and immediately got fast-tracked for promotion, but consistent performers are still waiting? I’m happy for them, but it definitely doesn't set a good precedent.

Not weird. Annoying, yes, but not that uncommon. Promotions often go to the people who are the most visible, not necessarily the people who are the best at their jobs.

Question is how to be visible enough?

That is definitely weird, atleast to me. It doesn't seem like the company cares or values the consistent performers. I would see that as a big red flag.

Weird? No. It’s not weird, it’s not fair, but it happens all the time in this space. Especially if this colleague is really good at playing the office politics game.

How long do you spend on monthly reporting for your clients?
My 3-person team spends about 15+ hours a month each writing monthly reports for our clients (99 small retainer clients). We’ve received feedback that they’re too complicated and the clients just want to know - are we on the right track, what action items are there, and what any next steps are in their strategy.
How do you simplify without losing value?
