I don't want to do business with someone who's only interested in themselves. When I'm paying someone a fee I want to be confident they're working in my interest. Taking the trouble to find out about my business, and learning about the challenges I'm facing, is one of the ways someone can persuade me that they're genuinely interested in helping solve my problems. Cheers, Martin. Atul, hi,

Now there is going to be a calling cards target in a live meet. As for not recommending the lady to others that would seem premature e.g. she could possibly be very good at collections. She obviously had the wrong basic ideas and you would be doing her a favor calling her up and educating her on this score. Salespersons have a sales target.

The second one is exactly who I'd recommend to others. Anyway - I couldn't recommend the first one because, without looking at her card, I don't remember either her name or her company! The second one I can remember both. :) Cheers, Martin. Hi Karin,

Which one would you recommend, even if you hadn't had any real dealings with them? Your second example was not only building a relationship with you for the future, he was also building his network of referrals. Say tomorrow I'm asked by someone in my network if I knew someone who could teach them more about WordPress - because they know my speciality is Typepad. No surprise where I would direct them to.
