Thanks for the great suggestions and advice from those of you who have travelled this road ahead of me. So far, I've had 7 "you've been selected" responses, of which I've completed 6 of those. Not being discouraged while waiting for the door to open is the best advice I can offfer a Newbie coming into this business. Thanks to this forum, I've already started "counter offerings" invitations that were very obviously "way too low" for the expected work; and none of them have been accepted. (yet) At the speed I'm going (1 or 2 signing per week), I'll have my 50-100 signings completed within the next 12 months; hopefully sooner. In any event, I'm enjoying the ride, and intend to keep listening and learning. Fortunately, I do have other sources of income to keep me afloat while my train "climbs this hill heading to the top". Wish you all well. |
