Highlights
"If you're going to offer something for free, you need to have a plan for how it turns into a paid engagement. And that needs to be clear to all involved from the beginning."
"People want certainty. If there is a program in place, then people are more inclined to accept the program as it's presented."
"Professionals take the time to build a plan, and professionals go first... Be able to say, 'Yep, here's how that works.' Because that's going to engender confidence."
