Sherien : I am sure I am with the millions when I say I can’t live without my phone. I actually don’t have a laptop at home and conduct all my organising, social media and emailing through my iPhone.

Do you have something equivalent to personal service level stats or email employees or live chat since it’s kind of a different way to track it than phones?

You’ve taken it to an entirely new high, working around other people, incubation theories, mentoring theories, accelerator theories, fundings, exits, team rooms, the very start up to the very exit point overall.

He also relies on various forms of communication, ranging from phone conversations to using social media such as Twitter or Facebook.

I opened the phone book and signed up with every single one in town. That one unassuming, non-meaty, first temp gig got me my first CEO EA job and eventually my promotion to project manager down the road.

I would like to email her after they meet to let her know I am interested in the role. To email her expressing my interest and why I would be great in the role? Successful executives are rarely lazy and slow if they earned their title from being promoted through hard work and not nepotism, etc. Do you think this is a good plan?
