Remember the story of the health writer who approached the hospital mar-com folks at a local street fair?
Today she reports:
Good news on this end. I met with the hospital marketing guy and his custom publisher. Basically, they need a writer for their new newsletter (which may lead to work in their consumer health pub). I gave him a quote (I thought he'd negotiate lower, so I upped the rate) and he accepted it. Should start working on it next week! Yay!
You can't see it, but I'm giving her my "mad props" hand signal.
This is a great example of how meeting prospects face-to-face can drastically increase your chances of getting hired.
Have you had success prospecting in person, especially in non-business venues? Tell us about it!
