34. The nicer clients offer something.

THIS client has offered something EVERY time we've gone there. The day of the shoot it was two slices of their Margherita Pizza and the Tiramisu you see above. My contact is just a wonderful person outside of her generosity, though...always upbeat and kind and gregarious and THIS is the client you aim for 100% of the time. Sometimes you get them, sometimes you don't. She's they 10 on a 10 scale. I also recently signed a Tattoo parlor and the owner and his wife are another pair of "10s." It's a 35 mile drive to his shop...he knows this. I went there the other day to help him with something and as we were saying our goodbyes, he reached into his wallet and smiled and said "Here...let me give you a tip" and handed me $20. I have been doing this for 15 years. No client has ever done that.
