My Counter to Your Offer

Some business management consultant connected with me recently on LinkedIn.

He asked if I would be interested in joining a new "mastermind group" he was forming.

I replied: "No, thank you".

Today, I received a call from someone following-up on his behalf - asking if I would be interesting in joining this mental masturbation group.

Caller: "What do you think about the idea?"

Me: "My first thought would be - what would be the fee charged for joining this group?"

Caller: "$495/month"

Me: "Well, as a consultant myself - I charge for giving my advice and expertise - and for short-term engagements - like a 1-hour call per week, to share my advice with the group - my rate would be $340/hour".

Caller: "So..., ..., ...you, ..., ...would be charging HIM?"

Me: "Correct".

Caller: "Yeaaaahhhh....I don't think that's what he had in mind..."

Me: "I didn't think so".
