    Andy in regards to your business, how do you see focus playing out. Is is that you only focus on one service (AdWords)? Or will you focus on a vertical (Irish local businesses?) for AdWords/Analytics/other services?

    How to value a generated lead

    MARKETING 
    =sum(retail price for product/industry conversion rate) The catch for them is if they can't close, your leads are expensive.. but if they can't close, you don't want to work with them anyway.

    GOLD! 
    Thank you @Walter Hay . I have not yet met my contact, but it is clear to me that it's time to jump on a plane to meet in person. Handling payments is a good idea too, as it is more likely that I will handle set up of these types of accounts anyway.

    I'm self taught in almost everything I do and it's served me well. Not everyone is a shark but a lot are - if they are selling advice, why aren't they putting that effort into selling product? Because selling information products is more profitable/easier. They're selling a dream!
