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!)

PM. Full stop.

Thank you! Logical thinking and I’m totally following. But, real talk - do you guys struggle with lack of motivation to scope new business opportunities when you as the PM are not incentivized (like Biz Dev people are) to add more client work to what’s usually an already busy workload? And do you actually feel like you’re in a position to say “no” to the new business, when it doesn’t seem feasible?

Career advice that I give to the people I manage- do one more thing everyday that you weren’t going to do or didn’t feel like doing- for your team or for your client. Could be notes, a follow up, a reminder, raising your hand to tackle and drive something-whatever. That little extra effort against something you didn’t “have” to do, every day, overtime will make you invaluable
