[Sigia-l] Free lunch...and drinks too

[Dave Heller]

Ziya,
You started this by referencing the following:

<< British Design Innovation reports that an average advertising agency spends
over $67,000 a year on free pitches, equivalent to four months by one person
each year. After potential clients see the on-spec pitches, over a quarter
of the projects aren¹t even awarded to pitching agencies at all. Paid-for
pitches, on the other hand, results in a much greater chance of winning the
job.>>

It is talking about ad agencies and never once said anything about
project based work ... people started talking about project-based
work, and I went back to the origianl statement and noticed that it
was talking specifically about ad agencies which I know DON'T bid on
proejcts.

Not sure what the "stop right there thing is about"?
