David Bennett from Dice Medical Communications might be cracking open a bottle of bubbly later on…

This might sound a bit self-congratulatory, but it’s made my day in medcomms!

After what appeared to be a biblical deluge of 40 days – but who’s counting – the sun has come out in more than one way, with a positive response to a proposal submitted during the early summer that was March!

It’s a chastening experience for all those former industry clients who ‘crossed over’ to the agency side to taste the frustrating feeling that the proposal you and colleagues slaved over was intercepted by a passing black hole. Has the prevarication by industry increased since ‘my day’? Surely I was never so slow.

As you can guess, the time elapsed since the proposal has no effect on the original deadline for the first deliverable. Might as well start raining again!
