Good Deal?

I’m slightly paranoid about taking on new clients... and I think that might be a good thing.

I was talking to a business mentor of mine the other day and he told me an interesting story:

A looooong time ago he was working in real estate and he took on a new client.

Let’s call him Mr X.

The guy had a reputation.

He was known for being a bit of a snake.

This was known from the start.

You could have asked almost anyone within a 50 mile radius at the time and they would have all told you:

"Yep, don't trust Mr X."

But that didn’t matter to my mentor. He was just the guy selling the house.

So he sells the house, Mr X is all happy, everything is going well.

Closing is scheduled in six weeks.

Meanwhile Mr X is singing my mentor's praises.

He couldn’t be any nicer.

A week before the closing date my mentor calls the buyer to make sure they do a final inspection of the house...

He says:

"No worries, Mr X handled that two weeks ago. We've already moved in!"

Turns out Mr X already closed the deal, didn’t pay the commission and fled the country.

They never heard from him again.

Sounds like a lovely guy.

Moral of the story?

You can’t make a good deal with a bad guy.

Cost my mentor about £5000 to learn that.

He never forgot it.

It’s the reason why we talk to every potential client before we start working together.

To make sure we’re a good fit.

And if we’re not?

We gladly send back any money that was paid already.

Life’s too short for that kind of stress!

Talk soon,
