They won't expect it and you break down barriers. All done in a humorous personable style. Client: I counted all the tiles in the waiting room there are 132. I'm really good at math. (Thinking I'll be very impressed.) Me: 132 whole tiles or part tiles? Client: Um, 132 part & whole. Me: Well then if you were costing the job and priced out 132 whole tiles, you would be over bidding the job wouldn't you? Client: Oh yeah. Me: Back to the drawing board. Another youth client: The rent is $750, that's $350 each. Me: Try again. Another youth client: Oh yeah, that's $375 each. Me: How much more is that than the $356 issued? Antoher client: $9. Me: You're really having a bad math day aren't you? My favourite picture of a writer is Albert Camus in a trench coat walking the streets of Paris, anonymously observing life.
