		<description>Josh, Heading out in 48 hours for an off site. Back at my desk Feb 22. Let&#039;s discuss. Connect. Clarify. Collaborate. Cheerlead. Commit. The five Cs credit to my mentor Susan Whitcomb. Let&#039;s do that as a exec coach colleague likes my &quot;on demand&quot; way of training. My other virtual mentor is Seth Godin. Are you by chance one of his Triiibes devotees? You have my direct contact. Consider a brief visit for mutual gain. I promise to reply promptly.  In the interim continued success. sQs</description>

		<description>Stephen,

It&#039;s an interesting model that I have weekly conversations about. I&#039;ve even considered it on my video training course, such that there is a nominal upfront fee, and the rest of it is paid after the course is complete or a job is secured. I love the concept, but I&#039;m not sure how to enforce it. I&#039;m always open to brainstorming.</description>

		<description>Josh, you are the man. Love what and how you do what you do. I too am not a coach. Under Malcolm Gladwell&#039;s defnition I am an outlier as I am sure you are = more than 10,000 hours experience. 

Love/hate your on target questions:
    * What is the average number of months your clients take to get a job?
    * How many job interviews do you think you can help me get per week?
    * What is your success rate?
Unnumbered Qs 1 and 2 are constantly asked. No. 3 I can answer easily...100% success rate IF, IF, IF the client is a collaborator meaning she will do the work and stay connected. Sooo in answer to Qs 1 and 2 because there are no parameters as to the profession or how long she has been looking, see answer to No. 3. Total commitment to the work will as you say at the very least cut the time in half and increase the number of meaty, meaningful, quality interviews. All of this said, this is why indeed I don&#039;t sell resumes and cover letters. My potential clients and I work on those marketing documents until THEY are satisfied, then we talk about the future and me getting paid, not before. Could be a week. Could be longer. Fair? Yay or nay?</description>
