In agreement with you. My point is that to encourage people to contact you, it is far more effective to promote to prospective clients what it is that you can offer them, rather than tell them about what they are not capable of doing by themselves.<br />Best, <br />Andy Hi Sally,
Thanks for visiting and sharing your thoughts. In agreement with you. My point is that to encourage people to contact you, it is far more effective to promote to prospective clients what it is that you can offer them, rather than tell them about what they are not capable of doing by themselves.
Best,

Absolutely! But someone has to contact me before I can do that! And remember that it doesn't have to be all one way or the other: I have many clients for whom I do part of the trip arranging, they do the rest or they 'wing it' for parts.
