You Want It Done When?! Here’s How to Respond

You are torn about how to respond to such good potential clients when you lack the time or bandwidth to serve their needs as quickly as they would like. What do you tell them that does not drive them away?

I have never considered the mentality that the author takes in this article. That you must know your limit and that if the company doesn’t wish to abide by it then it was better that someone else takes on the job. Perhaps it is because I am so young, or maybe it’s because at this point in my theatre ‘career’ it is hard enough to get jobs without turning people down. But regardless of my situation, I feel like this is a very valuable thing to consider. The theatre I work at now wanted so much done for each show in so little time that my first show I worked there I came in before everyone, worked through their lunch, and stayed after everyone as well as the time they allotted for me. It was grueling, and I only got paid for the time I was scheduled to be there, not the hours over overtime. It’s gotten better, but I think when I return I should utilize these methods. I assumed my voice didn’t really matter and I just had to make what was asked happen, but it’s definitely worth a shot.
