A quarter of the year almost gone and micro-business Dave was asking me what he had to do to gain more clients.

The lid of the laptop came down. ‘Snapchat’ now terminated … ‘Ok, so I get it, I need to be seen to be considered ‘worthy,’ is that it? Well, yes you could be right there Ben, it’s the ‘people buy from people’ thing, when people make those significant buying decisions they’ll want to meet up with…

I pulled up a chair … George had suggested that networking just wasn’t his style, he was adverse to ‘breaking the ice’ with those he hadn’t met before and being ‘nice’ just because … and the whole ‘first-date’ scenario left him less than warm … “Getting out of the comfort zone is just not for…
