I like to put the requests into an excel and then have a column for quick responses. And then I use it later to track sources of the docs and what’s been produced, etc. it also seems to make the formal responses go quicker. But yeah, the process always seems to take longer than it should.

This sounds helpful. Can you elaborate? 🙏🏻

Always took me forever. It was not a quick draft.

Forever. Got a rough rough draft done for 85 RFPDs in 4.5 hours. Probably got another 3-4 hours to clean them up and get them ready for partner review

Hello US fish!
What advice would you give a London-based writer/CD/ECD looking to work (remotely) for US-based clients?

Any tips on approaching clients/agencies? Which recruiters are worth reaching out to or are they all in league with Satan? Should I just give up now and get a job counting turtles? Thx
