RANDOM LINGO
Bake Sale
(1). The day when that obnoxious prospect schedules presentations from several firms for their business. The main purpose of the bake sale is to reinforce the prospect’s own sense of self-worth (oh, and also to waste all of your time since he already hired his brother-in-law’s firm to do the work).
“Well, I think there’s, like, two other firms pitching for this business today. The good news is I got us the last time slot, so I feel pretty good about our chances. You always want to be the last thing they eat at the bake sale, ’cause that’s the only thing they’re going to remember!”
Add Value
(1). To justify one’s involvement in a certain matter or project.
(2). A term used in response to meeting requests in an attempt to politely suggest that you do not wish to attend.
“Thanks for including me in Friday afternoon’s meeting about the office’s new water cooler, Mike. But, I don’t think my participation will add value.”
