You know, the kind of prospect that’s read an SEO blog or two and thinks they’re the bee’s knees. They think they know it all. Normally I would just walk away, but this guy came to me, and seems genuinely interested. What’s the best way to handle this? Do I just brute force my way through by showing how much more I know? Is there a smarter way?
