Your sitting in a five star hotel, facing your client and fidgeting with your cell phone.
Journalist had promised you that he is going to be there. You checked five minutes back and he confirmed that he is on this way; just in front of the hotel. coming!
Another call : yes yes i am coming!
one more call after 15 minutes - his phone is switched off or not taking your calls.
Boom.... he has just turned turtle at eleventh hour . He is not coming ... :-/
How many times this has happened with you in your PR career? I am sure, must have happened at least once. I think, they say many things just to play along,but, why bother doing that. Why not tell us that he are not interested in a meeting or doing certain story? Is it because that we PR people do not take no for an answer and keep on pestering a journalist, until he says yes?
Well, whatever is the reason; i cant put with the shindy my client is going to kick up soon.
