Here is your custom preview of the Intro and Random Section from this exclusive personal home defense guide ' Successful Contract-Related Home Projects ....' The reminder is that this is a classic offering of an RB Roberts transcript of one of his pre-2020 podcast shows, namely 'American Private Home Decision Makers, USA.' It was  subtitled 'Road to the Future, TODAY!' So, the 'Intro' demonstrates how the author usually opened each one of his podcasts.

Also below is the Random Section [an excerpt] taken from 'Strategic Communications, Strategic Results.'  which you will see again in the actual work.

Intro

Hi. This is RB, and welcome to another extraordinary episode of Private Home Decision Makers, USA – Road to the Future, TODAY! Many thanks to you for investing time from your personal schedule to be right here, right now. To me, that’s amazing. But then, when you think of it, amazing people tend to do amazing things. Thanks for dropping by. In this moment, true to the title, ‘Successful Contract-Related Home Projects – Mastering the Process, we’re really going to get in deep about the entire screening, selection, and negotiation process with respect to contract-related home maintenance and improvement projects. Ultimately, the objective of this special episode is to facilitate and to enhance your awareness as to how you can avoid treating your meetings with contractors as 'social' rather than 'business' meetings. Already you have the edge in this arena because most residents are not paying attention.We’re doing this because in many cases, where private home decision makers authorize contractors to take on our projects, we approach this as some delusional invitation to a friend. We treat the matter as a personal affair where all we’ve got to do is outline what we need done, then, in the end, it’ll be as we anticipated. After all, what are friends for? 

Random Section

Subsection: Interviewing. The total emphasis of your interviewing likely candidates is on who they really are, what they can really do, what have they done lately, and on whether they’ll get the project. It’s not on trading stories about our babies or about our growing children or grandchildren, or about our experiences with Tom, Dick, Harry, and Henrietta! This isn’t a social meeting. This is a business meeting. The alternate description for it: interview. The emphasis, the ultimate focus should be project-related. The discussion should primarily encompass anything and everything with respect to who you’re really speaking with and all relative information in terms of time and labor, in addition to everything else which includes materials, appliances, permits, electronics, accessories, windows, siding, depending on the nature of the project. You may not want to have all else needed to successfully complete the objective cloaked as just ‘materials’ since that’s too generic. So it’s better to be more specific than that since everything needed for successful completion of the assignment isn’t always in the ‘materials’ category. Some projects include accessories like blinds, appliances like stoves, electronics like surveillance monitors, and other significant items.
