Time has come to set the record straight because some of you are acting so unprofessionally.
As KOL Manager my role is to be sure that every KOL, every creator knows what is expected, that all questions are answered, that all expectations are met & that you are paid for the job you’ve been « hired for ». Right?
In all of this YOU also have responsibilities.
Some of the situations I had to face these lasts days:
• Booking a post, KOL agrees on everything. I’m waiting for a draft, nothing is coming during few days. I bump the KOL to have « Sorry I won’t be able to do it ». Sorry? So I waited all this time & needed to bump you for having this answer? Where is the proactivity? The professionalism?
• Booking a post, KOL agrees, KOL is paid. Client has a tight deadline so do I. I’m bumping every single day to have the post, KOL is online on TG & just ignoring me.
• Sending a brief & mentioning I need something organic, natural. KOL send me a draft coming straight from Grok. I’m kind & ask something more organic. The KOL replies « it’s organic. », huh?
Guys, I don’t care, if you’re not respecting any of our terms, any of our expectations & acting unprofessional asf, I’m just not dealing with you anymore. Simple as that.
Sending a DM with apologies if you have any issues literally takes 3 minutes.
Words like « hi » « thanks » are also welcomed smh.
Fortunately it’s not everyone but I see more & more taking this like a game while it’s not. Clients, teams & projects want to work with you & you’re just losing these opportunities to show how good you are as professional content creator.
That’s it. Bye.
