I like to offer something small(er) to get started.

An offer they shouldn't be able to refuse.

The first purchase is a test - both ways!

I want them to feel they're getting value immediately. I want to pass *their* test so we can deepen the relationship.

I also want to know whether they pay on time, are a PITA, and whether I can even add value.

If it's all green lights then we'll start adding more value, and getting paid more.
