Ever have a client tell you "you're as good as celery"?
If you haven't, you should know it's really a compliment. Let me explain -
I asked my client what he meant by that. He said: "Every time I bring you in to help me think about my sales and marketing challenges, you give me ideas that make me more money than I pay you. It's like eating celery. It takes up more calories to chew and digest calories than you get in calories from the celery, so eating celery is like negative calories. Paying you is like getting more back than you cost. So to me you're like celery".
"Are you telling me that I'm not charging you enough"?
"No,because if you charge me more you turn into lard"!
