Your Expertise: 
How Much to Give Away

A Panel Discussion
led by Dr. Marc Halpern

Abstract
Nearly every consultant has encountered prospects that try to get as much help as they can without paying for it. To some extent, one has to share some information in order to convince a prospective client to hire him or her. So the issue becomes how much should you give away, and how do you handle prospects that appear to be trying to get something for nothing. This is particularly a problem for engineers who must write detailed proposals. This has been the subject of an ongoing discussion on CCN's LinkedIn site. We hope to have some of those in this discussion as part of the panel, as well as our own members.

After the second light watch for white left-turn arrows painted on street (about 0.14 mile). Do not follow Rte. 23 left at turn but instead go straight ahead onto Llandrillo Rd.
