UGH!
I met with Debra from Atmospheres nearly 3 weeks ago. I adored her attention to detail. My mom loved her vision of the flowers. We were sold.
She said she'd send the proposal on Monday or Tuesday (We met on Wednesday). On Thursday I sent her an email asking for it. Got the proposal on Friday, but it was missing some things. Sent her an email asking her to correct it. NO WORD for a week. I met with my caterer who had recommended her (as well as a bunch of people here) who offered to call and see what was up.
Got an email Friday evening (a reply to my "hey, can you make these changes email") stating that she made them and see attached. It was the original proposal.
Saturday she sent another email stating that she found my email in her spam box (the email that she had replied to the day before) and would get an adjusted proposal out to me on Monday. Well today is Tuesday and I've not gotten another email from her.
I'm so disgusted at this point. Seriously, if you dont want the job- tell me.
Looking back on our meeting, she was really excited while we were talking about bouquets and then when I told her that I didnt need centerpieces or ceremony flowers she kind of shut down. Maybe the job wasn't good enough or big enough for her. I don't know. But the lack of communication is infuriating.
I met with Danielle from Dream Design and Vicki from Peddles. I have a meeting with Sally from InBloom on Thursday.
I just want to be done with flowers!
End Rant.
EDIT: Got an email with the updated proposal and a long apology from Debbie last night. She is "growing faster than she can replace herself." I have a meeting with Lee Forest next week. Hopefully I'll have a contract with someone within 2 weeks. Thanks for all of the recommendations!
