🚀 𝐀 𝐒𝐮𝐫𝐩𝐫𝐢𝐬𝐞 𝐂𝐚𝐥𝐥 𝐓𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐌𝐚𝐝𝐞 𝐌𝐲 𝐃𝐚𝐲! 🌟
Today, something unexpected happened during my pitch calls and meetings. Out of the blue, I received a call from a young woman who asked, "𝐀𝐫𝐞 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐟𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐫 𝐨𝐟 𝐓𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐎𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫 𝐀𝐠𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐲?" I usually cold calls to pitch to clients, asking if they're the founder of a company. So, this was quite a twist!
She wasn't calling for herself but for a friend who had recently graduated and was looking for an internship in design and video editing. However, her friend had met with an accident and couldn't apply directly. Her friend is from another state and is planning to relocate to Bangalore next week. Despite the challenging circumstances, she explained his eagerness to learn and gain experience.
Listening to her speak with passion and concern for her friend made my day. Amidst the sea of resumes I read, many lacking portfolios, this call stood out. It wasn't just about qualifications; it was about energy, eagerness to learn, and the desire to seize opportunities, no matter the hurdles.
At 𝐓𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐎𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫 𝐀𝐠𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐲, we value bold, outgoing, and passion-driven individuals. Our creative marketing work thrives on fresh ideas, and this isn't possible without genuine passion.
I almost wanted to say, "𝐂𝐨𝐦𝐞 𝐣𝐨𝐢𝐧 𝐮𝐬 𝐭𝐨𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐫𝐨𝐰!"—without even knowing his technical skills. It reminded me that sometimes, passion and enthusiasm can be just as important as experience and skills.
We haven't received their profile yet, but this interaction left a lasting impression.
Would you consider hiring someone based on such a call? 🤔
