Lmao, no

During working hours, no. If it’s a dinner/evening function with a client then sure.

I would advise against it… lol. Maybe ONE drink at lunch every once in a while but obviously you wouldn’t want to be noticeably intoxicated when you get back to work.

I once went to a drag brunch with coworkers before work (started at 3 pm at the time). We were pretty new working at the company and were definitely drunk (or at least pretty buzzed) when we got to work. 😅 That was a very risky move but luckily no one said anything. Wouldn’t do that again. 😬

No.
No.
NOO.
NO!!!!!!!!
NEVER in a work environment, with or without clients or coworkers, EVER.
Alcohol (any) = lowered inhibitions = poor decision making….
Stop trying to “Meet them where they are at”; and begin rising above it, Let them drink, and then take advantage of their lowered inhibitions…
All business transactions and interactions are Chess, not checkers. . .
Leave the frat boy at home.

Networking question here. A retired partner at the firm I used to work out reached out to me recently about attending an afternoon during the week (b4 4/30) with one of his long time clients. The partner and I have kept in touch since I joined my new firm and I feel like his invitation is a great networking opportunity since the client (who I have worked with before) is on a number of boards. Torn as how to request off as an S3. Could materialize to nothing but could be good for reconnecting.

I'm a marketer and I'm having a hard time getting my clients to listen to me.

I have been in marketing for 10 years now. I've worked with hundreds of clients and have been able to increase their sales by over $1 million each year.

But every time I go into a meeting with a new client, they ignore everything I say. They just want to talk about their product. They don't seem interested in learning how to market it better.

Anyone has seen any impact on conversion rates?

Are there any conservatives like me left anymore? The ones who are pro-democracy, pro checks and balances in governance, support liberal markets, have a global outlook that reinforces the soft power we’ve projected abroad for 70 years?

All there’s left of my party is a collection of vacuous bumper sticker slogans like ‘lock her up’, peddling conspiracy theories, and chest-thumping support for ‘law and order’ — without actually respecting the law, norms of governance and our institutions.
