Questions from an ECCIE newbie
Hello Dallas,
Not exactly a newbie, although it's been a few years since I actively hobbied, and I am new to this excellent forum. Appreciate a little advice. I'm pretty selective. I've done a lot of research (huge thanks to all reviewers). I've made a list of providers I would like to reach out to. There are a few things, nothing out of the ordinary, that are in the must-have category for me, and since many things may be dependent on the client or previous experience (hence YMMV), I'm reluctant to rely 100% on someone else's experience. - Is it appropriate to ask, or specify, in PM, to confirm activities? Or,
- Would it be inappropriate to reference a particular review, and ask her to confirm it? My concern here is that I want to follow protocol and not offend by doing a no-no (such as negotiating rates).
- Is it considered bad form to simply post an ISO, specifying exactly what I'm looking for, or is that actually the better way to go?
Take my word for it - you guys have Chicago beat by a ton, in providers, quality, and this forum. I did jump back in once last year, and it wasn't all I had hoped for. Fortunately, I now get to travel to Dallas once a month, so this is where I'm going to get back in the game. I'm not in a huge rush - heck, I've been dry for several years - but I am anxious to get started. My previous experiences are no longer in the hobby (I've looked up my old reviews on a different forum popular up here and they've all retired), and I respect that many providers have strict standards about references, so screening is also an obstacle I know I will have to overcome.
Based on my research and your reviews, there is a ton of incredible talent in Texas. What's the best way for me to start, and make sure my first experience here meets my expectations?
Thanks in advance,
Tuck
