I recommend using a referral network. Either with your Local Chamber of Commerce or BNI or other Networking organizations.  This allows you to get personal recommendations from others that actually know the people they are referring.    (more) I recommend using a referral network.

I have read all the comments and they all have merit. If you come across that client who always demands a lower price, even after you have provided them with the best price you can, you may not want them as a client to begin with. Thank them for the opportunity to assist them and wish them good... (more) I have read all the comments and they all have merit.
