vctips: When you email me a slide deck that ends in “version12.ppt”, somehow I don’t think I’m the first person you’re pitching… (@joshk)

Is being the first person I’ve pitched important to you? Are you looking to plant a flag or do a deal? If you want me to lie to you and tell you that you’re my first, I can do that, I just didn’t realize that would sweeten the pot, so to speak.
Incidentally, if you get “version1.ppt”, I’d think it’s a safe bet that little time or thought has been put into it. I don’t think I’ve ever sent anything to anyone important that didn’t get to v5 at least.
