Lose the client, but don't lose yourself in the process.

"Almost?" 😂😂😂😂

Funny experience. We almost lost Gilead account several years ago coz of a terrible development project that rocked our relationship completely with them. Finally, ZS had to write it off completely. Also lost their Ops in the same year as other vendors outbid us. We were able to save face with just one adhoc analysis project for <100k and then a series of small BI projects which led to gradual mutual trust that took ~2years.

Who in the agency would you say has the ultimate responsibility to come up with the agency’s pricing & services model? Biz Dev? Finance? Ops? Project Management? Other? (Context: we have an ongoing issue where a biz dev / accounts 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!)

I remember when I first started working on my thesis project. My adviser asked me to get some funding for it, but he didn't give me any advice about how to do that. He just told me that if I wanted money for my project, I'd have to go through some kind of committee process and submit an application for funding from them. Sure enough, after weeks of writing applications and waiting around for responses from the committee members (who were always too busy), I eventually got approved for funding!
