10. Show up late for your initial appointment or walk-thru.
9. Answer your customer's questions with made up answers, hoping they will never check up on you.
8. Forget to put your phone on vibrate or answering your phone while talking with a potential client.
7. Walk into a client meeting with a cigarette lit, or eating something.
6. Tell a potential client they "are wrong" instead of suggesting alternatives positively.
5. Brag about your grandchildren instead of your key employees who will work on the job!
4. While you are trying to sound like a big firm, tell the customer you are so busy you don't know when you can get to the work.
3. Talk up your political point of view on your first visit.
2. Tell an off-color or insensitive joke.
1. Bad-mouth your competitors.
