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.
Yaro,

So yes, it tested my patience, commitment to providing professional services with a smile and was simply part of my learning curve. After two years, I learned a lot – and for the 3rd year proposal… I evidently outpriced their budget and was not renewed. It was a good ending. : ) d
