Transcript

POV: Every sales pitch feels like a bad date. Hey, is anyone sitting here? I hope I'm not bothering you. Um, I'm Lauren. I own a video production company and like, you know, my company well, kind of has a crush on your company. Like, are you looking for a long-term relationship by any chance? Or, I mean, we don't have to, like if that's too much commitment. Like, not that I'm scared of commitment, like whoo, no, we love commitment. Ring by spring, baby. Um, yeah, maybe I should tell you a little bit about us first. We're young, but not too young. Like, experienced enough. We're like, really low maintenance. Like, nobody wants a nagging vendor, am I right? We're like, really good at taking feedback. Like, maybe not me personally, like, yeah, like sometimes I cry, sometimes I, you know, will lay down at night and think about it for the next six years. Like, I'm not playing hard to get, you know? Like, obviously, we always call when we say that we will. I mean, I guess, good at videos too, you know? We do fall in love very quickly. We just love our long-term partners. Like, we just don't want to let you go ever. I'm going to step over there, but like, if you could do me a favour and just like, check yes or no if you want us, and then you can just like, leave it on the table and I'll watch for you to leave and I'll pick it up then and we can go from there.
