On a meet and greet zoom with a potential client today. Junior employee and company senior partner. Junior asks if we can supply him with an animator by Friday. I respond politely that we’re not talent management, it would cost him more than hiring directly, and it would shrink our freelance pool for our other project clients. The senior partner sees the sense in this a mile off. Now the question: did the senior partner include the junior in order to get him to ask these sorts of questions?

Perhaps. If so, hopefully the junior gained something from it.

I doubt it. The senior is probably training the junior and the junior feels confident enough to ask amateur questions.

That’s my hunch too.

Question: why should they care if your pool for other clients gets smaller?

like

Whatever it’s intent, the request to supply our freelancers separately from a project bid had the effect of establishing professional boundaries. Saying yes puts us at risk of being “in-sourced” by our own talent pool; saying no makes it clear in this area we aren’t competitors per se but nonetheless have overlapping aspects of our service offerings.

I have a partner who routinely ignores emails or responds to them several weeks later. He has to approve every single document sent to the client or the court, which means you have a physically go to his office to ask him to review something. Half of the time you go to meet with him in person, he’s either on a call or otherwise busy. I find that this basically creates more work and makes meeting deadlines extremely difficult. Is this normal?
