Subject:to show samples or not?? From:Timothy Schablin <timothy -at- ESKIMO -dot- COM> Date:Wed, 7 Jun 1995 10:02:55 -0700
Most people I talk to say the most important item when giving presentions
is to show samples of your work.
I just read a book about freelance writing, the author suggest NOT
showing any samples. He claims clients aren't interested in you boring
them with your preious work.
What are your comments on this. I would think showing samples would be
very important.
