1/4/2005 - Client Conversation

I really like it once the client relationship reaches a point where we can talk on a personaL level. I have one particular company that I've worked with for five years, and the main contact person for me is a fellow that I have worked with since he started with the company two years ago. We had the following conversation yesterday in the middle of our weekly planning meeting:

Client: "Why are you so tan?"
Juan: "Because I went tanning."
Client: "Ah... new lady in your life?"
Juan: "Actually, quite the opposite. I've had quite a bit of difficulty with the ladies lately, so I did it to relax. I'm swearing off of women."
Client: "Oh! So does that mean that you went out and bought some Bette Midler CDs?"
Juan: "I haven't switched teams, if that's what you're asking."
Client: "Okay, good."
Juan: "Yeah, I haven't reached that level of frustration yet."
Client: "Yet?"

This conversation was carried out while all other meeting attendees watched and enjoyed the show. I like being a consultant.
