A public service announcement via Reddit:
The biggest thing I’ve learned about the business world from myself and others, is that people are VERY fickle.
Example: You just started company XYZ. You’re on the hunt for clients. You contact 100 people. 10 of them reply to you, saying they’re interested. Of these 10, 1 or 2 if you’re lucky, will ever contact you again, or respond to your further messages.
It even happens to long standing, established businesses, only the potential client will usually contact you first.
My advice is, don’t get invested. Never think, “Well, Joe told me he’d call me next week. I can slow down looking for clients.” Very bad idea.
