prapoza is on a distinguished road
I learned, again, to trust my gut feeling on prospects. Seems like every few years I ignore my gut feeling on a prospect and that prospect becomes a nightmare client.
This time of year I'm doing a lot of financial stuff, reports etc... We did some kind of service for 254 clients this year. The lowest was $37 for a lawn app the highest was landscape construction $66K. 114 of them did $500.00 or less contributing less than 1/2% to our gross for the year. Time to up-sell or kindly let'em go.
Learned lots of other stuff too, can't think of it just now.

One very important lesson was that their is a great industry forum with little if any BS. Thanks guys! Happy Holidays.
