(1). A synonym for all over it, or more likely, another way to say “Oh crap, I totally forgot about that!”.
“Oh, hey Sue. My proposal…? It’s in flight!”
Props to Denise for the submission.
In Flight
RANDOM LINGO
Active Listening
(1). The art of pinpointing the important points your client is trying to get across (unlike most of us, who just wait for them to stop talking so we can say whatever we think they want to hear).
“You’re doing a good job, Rick, but I think you need to do a little more active listening during client meetings. We really can’t be saying ‘sounds good’ after a client tells us his wife just died…”
Get into Bed
(1). To take on a new client that you know is going to cause trouble for you down the road, but is just too lucrative right now to pass up.
(2). To hire a service provider (read: outsource firm) that will be next to impossible to unload once they’re in place.
“You know once we get into bed with these guys, we’re never going to be able to get rid of them. Like the Kardashians.”
