This morning I had a potential client call me. We talked about what he wanted and what he wanted to pay. In the end I had to direct this client to some competing services where he hopefully will find someone that can meet his needs within his conditions.

In this podcast I talk about why you sometimes have to say ‘no’ to potential clients and how to go about doing it keeping in mind the end goal of a positive outcome for all parties.
