Just Say NO! To Bad Clients - Qualifying Clients For More Fun and Profit

Saying "No" isn't so easy, at least not at first and not until you have figured out how to tell the good prospects from the bad ones. Join us and learn how you say  "No thanks" more often and start really enjoying your clients and your work again. Join Pam Bryan at the Nitty-Gritty and learn:

• Why saying no more often is a good idea.
• Great questions to ask to find out if there is a fit
• Warning signs that your latest prospect is a bad client in the making
• What to do when you realize too late that its all going wrong

The Nitty-Gritty TeleForum is a great opportunity to share ideas with other designers and pick up ideas that could make all the difference to your design business and your life. So don't be shy, just register to receive the phone number and PIN  and then dial in to join us for a quick hour:
