Today I'm scheduled to attend a meeting at a client's office re a new RFP that they are planning to bid. I know this client well; I've worked with one particular department many times over the years. But a different department within this company is going to have primary responsibility for the proposal, and the department I've worked with previously will be helping them. When my contact at this company called me, he didn't say why they needed my assistance -- he just asked me to come to the meeting.
Then yesterday someone from the "other" department contacted me to introduce himself and to tell me that he is going to be the Proposal Manager. We had this conversation:
Him --- Did John tell you what he was thinking about having you do on this proposal?
Me --- Well, no. I was just going to ask you that same question.
Him --- Hmmm, I don't know.
Tune in for the next exciting episode of "why am I here?"
