Much of our business comes through word of mouth, so you have to be careful with reputation management. That might be a great follow-up post to this article. Advice on how to implement the above advice in a professional/gentleman manner. That’s a great point, John.

But I think it's best to always remain the gentleman, because some potential clients do learn, and as they educate themselves, they come to recognize what you knew all along. Will they come back at that point, looking for you? This is knowledge consulting... we get paid for what we know and for our efforts to discern from investigation, based on our experience. If there is not a match with a client at the start, the client needs to go catch up. There has to be a nice way to say that without working for free, and without offending the client. Ideally, you do it in a way that also helps them remember you as the guy who said whatever, on the day they realize whatever is what they really need. Good advice, worth hearing over and over.

So far the sale is going somewhat slow, probably due to the holidays and my difficulty in reaching JV partners, but the sale is converting at 3% and the OTO is converting at 85% so I can only hope that will keep up! Happy New Year, blessings to all! Nelson Minica Well, people that don’t have clients tend to not be so choosy and will just take the first to come along. :)
