I just had one of those isher's in yesterday! I thought her designer was going to go nuts. Nothing was exactly right . . . everything was close, nice, but not sure. Ugh! Have you noticed too that it is very difficult to throw out clever banter with one of these isher's? They are so involved in their own thought process that a little joke from a designer or sales person usually ends with a questionable look and a "What? Oh yeah. . .right ." The worst part is that you will spend more time with an isher than with a decisive client, waste more promotional product, and (nine times out of ten) not hear back from them till some time much later with an actual committed decision, which they will question throughout the entire process. I had the misfortune to give one isher my cell phone number, and although she is now a loyal client, she would call at the strangest times with questions. . .Twice while by baby was literally being born! "Oh, its a boy? How nice . . . now about that Dining table . . I not sure but . . .etc." How funny! I just had one of those isher’s in yesterday! I thought her designer was going to go nuts.
