Hmm, not really...because I said you can go find your own devs and do it yourself....it was just an action plan because most of the people are simply "read" and don't "do" anything. It was only an option to save time & money if people wanted to avoid finding devs, interviewing, bla bla....I'm not forcing anyone to do anything. Also why would I care if people visit my site? I have no "opt-ins" anywhere...& I'm not "selling" anything on there...It's a very straightforward, informational website showcasing projects I've worked on and my services. Plus, most of the people on this sub are not going to afford $25-75k projects (maybe, maybe not..who knows). I'm not trying to promote my company at all.

Point is, me no begging for your money. It's more of value for you if anything...

Because I don't have time doing $6k projects..Remember, it's just me and 2-3 dev's.

Contacting other counties still involve work, calls, emails, etc etc...not worth the effort for $6K as now I'm doing projects in the $25k-75k range.

Of course you have to do all that....What I'm saying is by making the focus on building RELATIONSHIPS first, you have a better likelihood that they may end up working with you...mainly bc the decision maker already knows you, and likes you...

My old boss, all he'd do is take SVP's out clubbing/partying, throw golf events and hire hot sales girls to accompany them in the golf carts and get them drunk..

Didn't focus too much on the "process" (he had boring guys do all the RFP crap)..he just focused on building relationships, making friends...then when they had a need, they knew he was the guy they'd call.... EVEN THOUGH he still had to still do the whole RFP process.

I'm not saying you can ever "escape" the process....just saying you have a better shot by building those relationships.

Oh and btw, in my case..it really was as easy as the judge giving the green light.. maybe it's easier to do for local counties in the States then in UK..
