I remembered a time when I had just come off a conference call set up by a marketing company that approached me after reading my LinkedIn profile, offering to help put together a marketing approach for me.
During the call, he kept asking questions about the usual stuff; i.e he wanted me not only to tell him about my issues but also to suggest ways they could help me. I thought this was the wrong way around. Anyway,...
None of my answers seemed to fit into his narrow box of qualifiers for what I came to see as off-the-shelf, pre-formed solutions, and he finally said to me, after coming to the end of his list, that he could not help me. And we should end the call.
I said you have already helped me a great deal, as the questions you asked told me how you operate, and I agreed by saying, 'Let's not waste any more of each other's time.' I was pleased to see him go, but I was left with an uneasy feeling that he would sell that approach to others.

It was one of the points I made in my recent interview, which was published in the International Business Times last week. Here it is in full.
