Doors of opportunity
may feel as though they are closed for good at the time. However, there are too
many factors that may reopen those doors such as staff and leadership changes,
being unhappy with the product or employee that they originally decided on, a
change of heart and the list goes on and on. Sometimes all it takes is a phone
call to reopen a door.

at the same time meet all your other commitments.

From time to time
potential clients may want to see you during an online meeting. Treat online
meetings the same as in-person meetings. Dress professionally and ensure that
