I have spent many days trying to track down clients, get approvals on things, etc and in the end probably losing money. I have decided that I need to stop chasing folks down. They have my contact info. Yes I might lose some work but I can use that on other facets of the business. Thanks Miriam-

I appreciate the frustration expressed in it. It's an odd coincidence, but I was just talking about the problem at Cre8asite of lost time creating quotes for SMBs who are simply oblivious to the idea that a real website requires a real investment. I spend hours every week researching the needs of businesses who then never sign a contract because their investment expectations are so unrealistic. For a small shop like ours, that's actually a real problem, but one I've been unable to find a solution to. I'm thinking of blogging about this, and your link to Ian Lurie's post is helpful!
