First contact with new client: did I make a mistake here in being too vague?
Nice going, Bel!
Your post sounds solid: adds the fee framing it as a small detail (which is good for you and for many high net worth customers, it is a detail) while also moving forward at the same time.
Great combo.
Thank you, Lucio!
It's very helpful to understand the principles behind my email, which I only now consciously grasp after reading your post.
It allows me to reiterate it in the future.
Updating this.
I did the work and got paid. The client seems content.
I sent him a final email where I mentioned I was "happy about having been of assistance, and glad to be of assistance as well for future projects".
I kept it one line and much shorter that the final email I used to send to clients in the past.
The crucial thing was being able to wait three weeks between my first email to him and when he responded back.
I believe he was testing me to see if I was a "nuisance" lawyer.
Very useful to have learned this in all areas of life.
Previously I would have been absolutely unable to handle this uncertainty wait time. But now I see infinite applications to use this skill.
Nice, rock on Bel!
I removed just yesterday the word "riches" from the webpage title to focus more on the social aspect.
But it was a marketing choice, and not because it was wrong.
Power skills do also "pay" :).
