Question
These conversations—usually in person, over coffee—almost always end up with "can you be my reseller?" But there's a lot they (and I) don't understand about their own client market or service offering which is why they are struggling to find new clients. How much free advice should I offer?
I've created a short email course which I can now refer them to, to help them get more confident talking to their clients about the value they bring to them.

Answer
David Barnett is exactly right: "Stop meeting people for coffee and instead send them to your Clarity.fm link."
That's how I ended up here. Too many people asking for advice and myself only too willing to fritter away my work day advising them for free ... thereby losing hours that I really owed to my paying clients and my own projects. Oh, and my long-suffering girlfriend!
