Very good. AAMOF, if I can help it, will never do business, particularly where you have to travel from job site to job site, without a tablet device again. And the iPad, with available apps/plus the cloud, currently fills that bill perfectly. I bid two jobs this week with ALL necessary tools at hand in one device ... from taking walk-though videos and photos of the areas; to hand drawing a rough sketch with dimensions; to showing the client my portfolio of similar work; to Googling the interweb to illustrate style options and choices. That's cool. Electronics and the Internet can be a very powerful combo for client presentations. My clients, however, are wooed by color laser printed quotation with my name, company, and phone number on 'em. I landed one job with a lady because I was the only one to give her a printed quote, even though two other guys quoted less money for the job. I kept her as a client for 4 years, until her husband died and she sold the house here. Professionalism does count. You've always sounded as if you had that covered in spades. Kudos. I pity the modern day Luddites who refuse to investigate the myriad benefits of using one simply because it has the cachet of a coffee house/wine bar denizen ... Yabbut, a $600 pencil and notepaper, in addition to the tres gauche situation presented by the mfgr name? 'Course, I'm not running a crew. Now, if it only ran SketchUP .... Really! How about a holographic display for the 3D version you show the client? Wouldn't that be tits? -- Invest in America: Buy a CONgresscritter today! |
