Hi Rory,
I appreciate wanting a response right away. Unfortunately I am in the
midst of two big projects as well as a server migration for the client
mentioned in this email. Therefore as this is low priority work, it has
had to be put on the back burner. I need to have a discussion with the
client in order to determine which parties they would like me to start
interviewing. This is likely to take place early next month once the
server migration is complete. My apologies if anyone else has felt
ignored because I haven't had a chance to look at their application. I
probably should have sent a small note telling people I'd received their
application and asking them to hang on.
It's understandable to follow up if you haven't had a response - that is
the nature of business, and I would happily have asked you to hang on
while I get the time to have a look at this. That being said, I found
the way your email was worded somewhat unpleasant, and I felt it
should've been sent to me privately. In my own work, I have occasionally
needed to follow up on a prospective client many times. I recall one I
talked to once a fortnight for two years, and then secured their
business in the end and they've been a very loyal and profitable client
for quite awhile now.
I would welcome anyone who took the effort to email me about this to
check in whenever they'd like. However everyone will receive a response
in the end.
Cheers,
Duncan

HI
I sent you my details on 4th March - if you didn't get them please let
me know and I will resend them. If you did receive them then perhaps
you could show some courtesy and respond.
thanks

Hi guys,
I built a web application for a client of mine; I was hoping to
pass off maintenance and further development to another party
while I focus on my own internal software.
It's maybe a couple hours a month of programming work tops,
they're a really great client to deal with, always pay on time and
don't make crazy demands. I'll bring you up to speed on the
software and can potentially refer further work to you down the
line. Note there's not an abundance of documentation and the code
has gotten somewhat spaghetti-like over the years, so some
refactoring may be required.
What I'm looking for:
- 3+ year history of PHP development and basic MySQL knowledge
- Basic linux server administration skills
- A great personality & the ability to communicate very well
- A reasonable hourly rate
- A small portfolio of previous projects I can have a look at, as
this is your full time job.
Please feel free to send me a response privately on duncan at
cbslimited dot co dot nz.
Cheers!
Duncan
