I am dating.....sort of
Seriously, a meeting with potential clients is like dating.
1) You put your best "you" forward.
2) You can't assume exclusivity either, since said potential client is probably shopping around or "multi-dating".
3) Your excitement runneth over with anticipation of a budding relationship with that special someone who had the makings of all that you want in a client.
4) Or, you recoil into a murky puddle of repulsion and disappointment when it's definitively NOT a good client fit.
So, crash and learn, ladies and gentlemen! Although in dating, marriage may not always be your goal, it is indeed a must have in business. When you get them under contract and signed on the dotted line, you're now joined in the union of holy money-generating matrimony. A match made in business.
Like a marriage or any business relationship, it takes weeeeeeeerk. If you don't find that client match, move on.
Most IMPORTANTLY, never give up on finding, "The One".
