![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() You know, I never fancied myself much of a businessman. But over the last couple of years, I've come to realize I'm better at conducting business than many so-called professionals out there. Some I've learned by watching others, but a lot of it, to me, just seems like common sense. quote:

![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Sometimes it's just a misunderstanding. Not always, maybe even not most of the time, but sometimes. If you really care, it's important to communicate some more and have them make themselves absolutely clear. |

![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Yeah, not all professionals are that professional. It certainly possible that misunderstanding happens, but it can also be that they respond without having done their home work. When I get a request like that, I would certainly look closely at the website at hand and do a somewhat quick analysis, and in my response mention some things I've learned from analyzing the website. It will obviously take a few minutes extra to do this before replying to the email, but it also will give me a much better chance of getting the job. |

![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() With that remark on 'treating small', Wes, you made me think of an old phrase that still stands as an excellent remark on most things, not least of all, business practice: quote:
