Honest to gods, this conversation happened today, and it may have cost me a job opportunity. The customer was super impressed with my menu design and animation, and wanted to know who we got it from. When I said I did it, their face lit up! Too bad as soon as i said GIMP, they weren’t interested anymore. Has anyone else experienced this? What do you say in similar situations?
pretty sure for this exact reason, also makes for as longer lasting memory/name recall.
its odd but it works, and it works because its odd.
and next time if you think the presumptive customer is a pearl-clutcher, say the full name or if you have to abbreviate do the ol’ individual G. - I. - M. - P.
