But I've worked with folks who I would never wanna work with again. On the other hand, I used to work in sales and marketing for a telecom company here in Montreal, and honestly a lot of the people working there I would never hire for my own business hehe Being friendly and available definitely has the potential to grow your business, unfortunately a lot of people forget that. Well, more work for me then :) Hey Anthony, same thing here, I’m a freelancer, and always make sure to at least meet my deadlines. But I’ve worked with folks who I would never wanna work with again.

Well, more work for me then :)
