A recommendation
I was impressed with Rick.
I want to post up my impressions from this conversation.
I haven't done business with Rick yet.
I've spoken to Rick only this one time. So this is my first impression - and we all know the importance of first impressions in salesmanship and in salesmanship in print/screen.
And first contact with a person, for anybody with reasonable intelligence/emotional intelligence, I believe, is usually a pretty accurate means to judge whether that person is about BS or about genuine talent and integrity.
I don't intend posting up anything other than what I believe to be true.
I believe that Rick has outstanding capability as a copywriter and as an analyst relating to business. That Rick is trusting and trustworthy. That Rick is a good, positive, guy, that he knows useful things, has excellent insight, and that he can help people.
While first-impressions have a big impact in shaping our ongoing dealings with people, and so are to some degree self-fulfilling, I believe it to be true that first impressions are valuable, to judge others by. We can learn a lot. We can 'sense' a lot, on first meeting.
Rick and I spoke for about 45 minutes. I feel I got a good sense of what Rick is about in this time.
I recommend Rick for the work that he does.
