Mopped up the surprise client and final payment coming in soon and I'll get to do my "I saved this guys @$$" case study. Right now turning back to updates for an old client, getting paid which is nice.

Sales call today with a guy who's been in contact with me for a year for at least one site but looking at 2. Unfortunately I was upfront and stated I don't do any SEO though I did have someone who could help him, but did warn him the lowest rates I've seen in my area are 1800$/mo.
He had me update my quote but informed me he'd check in with another agency he was referred by a friend, going to see if they can do the buildout+seo together for a good rate. Crossing my fingers they're like the other local ones and quote him 18,000$ just to install wordpress and slap a theme down so I can clearly undercut them but still get a good profit.

No touchbacks on my cold e-mails yet but I think I only did about 50 in the past 5 weeks- no follow ups but that's my fault. Spent time today finding ways to get lists again. Still have some old leads to follow up with on the phone.

Sh!t is really heating up at work and I'm doing some of my best work but stepping on landmines reminding me why I've focused so much on this and not a career getting beat down like a dog- wish me continued luck.
