Does anyone else find this question awkward?

Keep the Stimulus-Response model in mind and use it as an opportunity to use and refine your people skills. Consultant works for so many things, but the most important thing is when they quid pro quo you their information...

BE HEARTY IN YOUR APPROBATION AND LAVISH IN YOUR PRAISE. Be Interested in them, let them light you up with THEIR stories, and you will be remembered, whatever you tell them you DO.

Dear Gordon:

Thank you for the practical tips!

I tried "consultant" once, but it seemed to come off as a synonym for "unemployed"

I also tried "publisher"...and then had to patiently explain that no, I do not have a printing press, nor do I design flyers or logos.

I'll keep the STIMULUS-RESPONSE model in mind.

Thanks again
