Huge's rule of tradesperson halfs;

- Half the people you call won't return the call
- Half the people who return the call won't turn up.
- Half the ones who turn up won't submit an estimate.
- Half the ones who estimate will submit a "we don't really want
this job"
estimate.
- Half the ones who submit a sensible estimate can't actually do the job
- Half the people you commission to do the job will be useless ****s

Feel free to add more steps.



On that basis, you've got to call 64 people to get *one* half-way
decent one! Can't be *that* bad, surely?

Oh yes it can
