Where I come from (South Africa), there is no doubt that those who advertise (in bright neon signs) that consultation is free (or even better, no win, no fee) are generally those who see their clients as "customers" from whom they will make money, not as clients for whom they will do good work, and be rewarded accordingly.<br /><br />There is another point. Ever noticed that when you give free advice, people just don't take your advice seriously? Funny old thing human nature - advice that cost you $10 000 is infinitely better than free advice, even if the free advice was carefully considered.<br /><br />Stephen (http://www.twitter.com/Stephen__V)SVhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04813519330727577447noreply@blogger.com
