    Potential client 20 mins late for call last week (our very first meeting).

    Not an exciting talk about what he and his org are trying to accomplish. The subject is something I'd actually like to get away from but the work would be slightly challenging but easy (but not "fun"). We had a call scheduled for 2p today that he just cancelled because his offices are closed from the storm.I'd still find out a way to keep my promise on a call if it were me. IDK, high standards?

    Getting that gut feeling that this will not work.

    • You think he would cancel earlier, but things can happen. Have you discussed rates? If he's okay with your pricing and can pay on time, keep him.bainbridge
    • That last sentence might be good advice bainbridge. Nope, no discussion of pricing but they are well funded.notype
    • Maybe he's having a bad week. But if you want out, this is a good excuse. If you do have a meeting and aren't getting along, just pull the plug.bainbridge
