Drinking Coffee...

[Life Hawk]

funny thing is! If i'm offered coffee or tea it is a sure sale most of the time. People like it when you join in with them.

I always look for around to see if I can see a pot, then if I need to come back I ask if they would make me a cup.

I was taught many years ago, if anybody offers you anything, take it. Nothing wrong with breaking bread with a future business partner.

Agree to a point.. I have been in some houses where I would not want to eat or drink anything they offered..

I have almost reached the point where if I am in a house like that, I am not looking to sell, I am looking to leave!

I often evaluate if I have the antibodies to ward off what I might catch... one thing I know, even if I don't get a flu shot, by the end of the season I have usually been inoculated for every virus that year through natural exposure.

I do get sick several times a winter and I assume its because of whom I am dealing with. But in reality I am more concerned about the bed bug than the flu bug. they are much more difficult to get rid of.

I'm a bit more concerned about other things... how many times as the aids virus mutated over the years??????

Not to mention a whole host of other things you can't see.

Always feel like I can kill what I see, its the unseen that keeps me praying.

I honestly tell them that I can't drink coffee when I'm working, or I'll have to keep running to the the bathroom because of my small bladder. As far as food, if I'm not comfortable with their cleanliness, I tell them I just ate, but if they want to send some home with me....then I pitch it in the garbage when I get home.

I have come home with all kinds of food like BBQ, Gumbo, Pies and homemade tortillas. Also plants, Ammo Mags, Some "cookies", numerus invites to meet daughters, sisters, and mothers(:( ) , And just recently a bunch of fish I need to give away. This business can be a kick in the butt.

I brought home food one time from a client's house. It was a bag of walnuts or something from their freezer. My wife immediately through it in the trash..
