YEA, history is loaded with stories of successful businesses that told clients to F*** off. From what you are saying you tell your clients to F*** off otherwise you would be getting the 'I need to think about it" objection. Yea right. Wait, that probably does work in Pennsylvania or New Jersey. I think Penn was voted the most illiterate state in the country but it's not like anyone there read about it. (see, that's sugar coating that you people are stupid). lol
You can be a straight shooter, telling it like it is without name calling and insults. And leaving out the childish name calling and insults is not sugar coating it. Follow Newby, he does it all the time. Same with 360. They know how to be professional straight shooters. Hey, sorry in advance when the Penguins will choke again this year! hahaha

I share your sentiments on the Pens. They choke way too often with the amount of talent they have.
I do, however, disagree with anyone who has a problem with Todd King's style. While I believe Todd would never in a million years tell anyone to F off I believe he would always stand his ground for himself and his agents. He has done it for me on multiple occasions. Anyone would be doing themselves a favor by working with Todd King. I can't speak for the rest as I have not worked with them.
Maybe I came across a little strong by advocating people telling others to F off if need be. In business I agree there is never a time for that. But I do agree that people in PA are very illiterate and undefined in many parts of the state.
Also, you seem like a very classy guy

YES! Door is answered by a 3-year old....."is your grandmother home?" "No she not here" So I ask "when will she be home?" "I don't know" .....looks behind the door "MeMe.....when will you be home?" BUSTED!!!

If I get stood up, I go on with my day. If I get some time later that day, I'll door knock that lead. If not, I'll door knock it the next time I'm in the area, but very rarely will I make another call to try & schedule another appt. I will usually leave a card on the initial visit.......just to let them know that I was there.

Call from the porch, leave message, leave card etc., and then feel free to door knock them on your way home at 9 or 10pm any old time you like. I don't take them out of my call list, but I wont chase them either.
At AIL, we used to leave a note that stated a new appt time on the half hour, and to call if thats not a good time.

We weren't taught that at AIL but it is a thought. When you were at AIL did you set your own appointments?

Option 2 call from the porch leave message on voicemail, then since they are "not home" help yourself to any lawn ornaments depending on how good or bad your appointments are you might be able to setup a side business selling slightly used lawn ornaments.

I find it helps to have an air raid siren and a loud bull horn. The script goes: All right we have your house surrounded! We are about to send in the attack dogs. If you are not Mugsy RipRock and this is all a huge mistake you need to come out and let us know within the next 30-seconds because these dogs are trained to go straight for your nasty bits! ! 29, 28, 27, 26...
If you don't have the air raid siren just roll down your car windows and crank up War Pigs. That does the trick too.
