Sorry to see that the point I was trying to make—about communicating the value of one's services from your clients' perspective instead of your own—got lost for you in my too clever use of hyperbole. Many service professionals focus their marketing efforts on describing what they do well. I was hoping to point out that by getting into their clients' shoes and describing how your services help your prospective clients accomplish their goals and/or solve their problems, you stand a much better chance of being heard and therefore considered for the job. Glad to hear business is good for you in this tough economic climate. Hey Chuck,

"The bad news is that nobody cares about you or your services." Did you have a bad day or something. This doesn't make sense unless you assume no one is doing well in new media content creation. Our business is booming in the agribusiness sector. I'd answer yes to all your questions. Seems pretty simple common sense. If I can't answer yes I wouldn't have a business. As far as, "I simply don’t care about you. It’s not personal. It’s perspective." That's not my experience at all. Credentials are important and I slowly, gently educate my clients and build their trust and respect. They not only want to know that I'm going to help them accomplish their goals but they get pretty technical in asking how. Not all of them of course. This just seems way too exaggerated.
