So I am the only girl in my office usually, as a lot of people work from home. However, I am quite young compared to the other women that are here, so I don't have a lot in common with them (usually chat about their kids). The guys however are the same age as me and we get on so well. I just sometimes miss having that female presence! Does anyone else have anything similar?

I get that 100%. But I wouldn't let the lack of common interests deter you from building relationships with the women at work who are older than you. Take advantage of their knowledge in the industry and shift the focus to learning something new/gaining experience opposed to trying to make a new friend. I'm 27 and my closest female coworker/friend is 56. She has been a key part of my growth in my career, too!

Oh no I do have a good relationship with the other women! Its just the day to day conversations when they are in that I cannot really be involved in. I don't ever plan on having kids and it's pretty much all they ever speak about. One on one its absolutely fine though.

Do vendors provide the agency with a pre-pro book prior to the shoot if it’s a simple drop kit, taking head?

Not sure if there’s a need for it since it’s not a complicated shoot (single cam, direct shot to talent answering questions) but wanted to get a sense. Client wants a meeting the day before the shoot to talk about the production (which we have done a few times already), so not sure if it makes sense to have a formal PPB for this meeting. Thoughts?

Hello, first post here. Outside sales, merchant services/card processing. I’m primarily a welder but I work 4 10-hour shifts typically then I try sales the last three days. I’ve done it long enough to where I’m confident and comfortable going to new businesses, establishing some rapport with business owners. But it seems like a lot of businesses see this as a waste of time, even adding services and cutting costs. I guess either I’m looking for advice or considering not doing this anymore.
