Business Meeting Subject: New Automation Software.
Client: “I want you to write a software package that will allow us to create client websites automatically. The site needs to allow for multiple upsells after the checkout is complete. And I want to build 5000 a week for clients free and give them away. I need that in 30 days.”
Me: “We can do that but given the complexity of the checkout process, upsell logic (actually lack thereof, every deal was different), and conversion of current clients to the new system we will need at least 90 days to bring this online.”
Client: “I setup a MySpace account and have the frontend ready to go, all you need is to glue the cart to it. Surely you can do that in few days?”
Me: “Myspace?”
Client: “That’s right.”
Me: “And you want a cart in Myspace?”
Client: “You got it…”
