Don't forget the trust angle. Most, if not all, of the projects I've gotten were because of referrals -- people who trust someone who trusts me, who then become people who trust me, who lead me to other people who trust them, and so on. Of course the converse can be true: sour a critical trust relationship, and you could sour a whole network of relationships. Trust is built on both character and competence, of course, and "70% experience + 10% certs" is supposed to indicate this competence. "Supposed to" being the operative phrase, that's often not necessarily true. ;) Cheers! -- Federico Sevilla III F S 3 Consulting Inc. http://www.fs3.ph
