Recently, I have been speaking with the founder of a rather interesting educational product. It serves as an intuitive system and will be offered to individual schools per contract. During the immediate time leading up to a national marketing blitz (i.e. phone calls, presentations, articles and etc.) the founder has been extremely busy.
In all of my emails this has been duly understood and noted. However, after the passage of several weeks it has come to my attention that several deadlines which were self-imposed not being met may be representative. I was looking to receive updates, which would happen after upcoming meetings and these have not occured either. At this point, I am thinking of a level message which might posit the need for sticking to deadlines. That's especially true in any situation where a consultant relies on the agent of a new product (unestablished) for a dependable compensation schedule.
It may be uncomfortable, but having this conversation in tandem with compensation would only compound that feeling.
