Lisa,

I've been trying to get to one of your workshops for so long. Looks like I'll have to miss another. I have an appointment with a contractor to fix/redo a home improvement project we tried on our own. I'd much rather be at your workshop. Hope I can make another one soon!

Mikelann,

Fantastic conversation. As a graphic designer myself I've just finished a pro bono job and felt very underappreciated. I love the idea of treating a charity job as a real one and presenting a bill so they know how much they would have spent!!

I am clear on my number! I've also just experienced that and won't do it again. Thanks for the great article!!

Terry,

Great article...need the rest. I understand, use and ejyoy, the "talk don't sell." The problem I have is the closing of the deal. I warm up, submit quote, even recieve email or call from client but can't seem to close some of them. One in particular of course. I am not getting a no...but not getting a signed contract either.

I'll be patiently waiting for the follow up article! : )

Thanks Bob! Nice lunch meeting and good conversation! I always enjoy Armando’s. I really enjoyed hearing the answers to the question asked. Woody Allen is the director I chose to showcase my personality. However hearing others ideas as to why they chose their directors was fascinating! The other directors were Oliver Stone and Steven Spielberg.

Cheers! Julie Collinge www.prosimiandesign.blogspot.com

I'm glad I signed up at the last minute Michele! You are a great host and I've made some good contacts! I look forward to the next event.

Thanks! Julie Collinge www.prosimiandesign.blogspot.com

I work well under pressure, but now that the event is near I'm nervous. I'm wishing I went to some of the pre-shine events to prepare. Along with the nerves are excitement and thankfulness for this opportunity!

Thanks Dan and Laura! You're Amazing!! : )

Oops...etiquette.

Very good! I'm going to brush my teeth right now! Now I need etiquitte on how to take the gum out of my mouth without anyone seeing. I always forget to do that before entering a room before networking.
