okay, I have a competitor, if you can call it that, another designer in my city, that thinks he's the cat's pajama's. He walks like he is floating on a pool of regal air.
When he talks about himself he uses third party references to well, himself, and he thinks he is soo damned cool.
I know this is very grade school, but it really bugs me, his work is good/decent, but I don't understand the logic behind the "god like" self image...
it's just a job.

Simple. Two words, go up to him and say, "f*ck off". That should help. :)

btw, its not zoolander

I was just joshing. Seriously, you should just ignore people like that. Every dog has his day, so will you.

Big Talk sells.
- brundlefly0
I thought that good hard work, client interaction, meeting deadlines, knowing what you are talking about, talent, and respectability was what sold....
I guess I don't have the "metallica" sales concept
- brundlefly0
and if big talk can't be followed up by any of the traits I just mentioned, isn't big talk just fluff?
might get you a job here and there, but what of return business, word of mouth....
- davetufts0
nope, it's definately talking the talk.
sales has almost nothing to do with 'good hard work'

I can give you some examples of people who still do business in that way for over more than 30 years.
Selling air. Its great ; )
- brundlefly0
and I can give you examples of 2,000 dot com crashes, selling air
- BXCAR0
somebody who can design well and somebody who's good in selling something do the best business.
tricky thing is they have to get along.
- davetufts0
true!
- JazX0
all those dot com's weren't smooth enough to diversify and evolve with the market. plain and simple.

Jaz sai d it better. The F word can be your best friend sometimes.

big talk only works on people without instincts.
modesty only works on people with instincts.
its a bastard, but its true.
bullshitters should be shot®
- JazX0
Yeah, true that unfit. Seriously, some people think they are hotter than hot. Screw 'em. Tell 'em off.

speaking in third person is just fucking unnatural.
so says leaves. the hardest motherfucker this side of the equator.
- brundlefly0
brundle agrees.
brundle always wants a shower after getting greased by some third rate sales guy, why is it any different in design.
self confidence. talent. honesty.
thats what brundle likes
