There is so much pressure to bring in new business and while my agency has ok creatives, a lot of the deck comes down to me to build. Can anyone offer any resources/tips to improve efficiency?

How long have you been at this agency? It helps when you have tenure and visibility into what’s been done before so you aren’t always starting from scratch.

Suggest: spending good time fine tuning a baseline group of slides that exist in every deck (if they don’t already exist); streamlining your presentations to follow the same template format each time (whenever possible - it’s an actual godsend); make finance, contracts and a designer your new best friends.

Super helpful! Thank you! Been at the job about a year and definitely feels like we are recreating the wheel or recycling old ideas- not much in between.

Facing the same issue. SC1 is there a story flow or format for the template slides that you have found successful?

How do you handle it when your kid can’t go to school/daycare? Daycare options in my area are extremely limited, and the one are in is pretty good. They are very strict about kids not being there when they are sick, which I appreciate and mostly agree with. Except that the rules are along the lines of if your kid has a temperature over 100, they cannot come in until they’ve been under 100 for 72 hours. According to every doctor I’ve spoke to, 100 isn’t even considered a fever. (See rest below)

I just moved to a new home and bought a bunch of furniture only to find that some items would only be dropped off in front of my building (no white glove service offered).

I can’t ask my friends to help me every time something gets delivered… I have so many things arriving in the next few weeks and am becoming a bit desperate for a workable solution. Some items are 200-250 lbs.

Um, data? Alexa, was that you?
