Happy Tuesday! When I do my virtual consulting sessions, I always bring up that I tend to avoid daytime events. This was true in “before times” as well. You may have noticed that much of my work is same-day turnaround (some is few-hour turnaround, actually), and if I say yes to a luncheon or a mid-day launch event, be it AM yoga or afternoon pedicures, I end up cutting out half the workday and missing out on potential assignments. No one is going to wait till tomorrow for breaking news because I decided to go for a facial and a latte at 11 am. They’ll just assign the story to someone else.
Hi Aly, I feel like I've followed all the correct protocols with pitches, even sent you a couple of experts on coffee freshness and their phone numbers but never heard back from you. I understand if my pitches didn't hit the mark but was surprised you didn't acknowledge the sources I sent. Do you get too many emails to respond? Just want to be sure I'm not doing something that's off-putting! Would love to hear back from you. Thank you!
