Where is the Money, Honey?

Slap!!!

That’s what I do to myself everyday. Am no Yem-BA from a top notch institute or a guy born in a family having the genetic disorder of understanding money. Then what am I doing here as the Head of Marketing of India’s Largest MBA… err… Youth Forum ?

I think am understanding the value of myself. I am discovering so many things about myself, business and yes startups!!!

PaGaLGuY.com is a lifeline to thousands today, but there is a huge world out there who does not know about us. For instance, when I called a respectable B-School few days back and introduced myself, the person exclaimed, “Pagalguy??? You mean Mad Person?”

I have been laughed at more than a few times when I introduces myself at the receptions of advertising agencies. But again, are there any prizes for ignorance?

I am doing my bit and trying to get onboard more products, deals and utilities for our users. Trying to get in so much dough in our account that we can materialize the ideas my inzane bawss throws out each day!!!

It’s difficult, right from the cold calls to making proposals to making presentations to bringing bhelpuri for everyone from three storeys down. Moreover, you gotta drill holes in the heads of your clients to make them understand the whole funda of the web medium. People are just not ready to take off their naadewala undies and wear boxers. I will soon write a post about some of the most amazing questions I have been asked while making presentations.

But yes, it’s fun. It’s hard to leave office at the end of the day. Going home sounds so boring.

    Now that’s what means taking the jargon out of business Rohit. Must be an all together different experience when it comes to dealing with the people who are just not ready to take off their naadewala undies and wear boxers

    Of course, the name is weird for you to make business proposal. But then again, we are into serious business that people cannot look away from! Keep working & Keep having fun while you are at it! :-)
