Like, don't ignore customers that knock on your door. But on the other hand, just the fact that one customer is knocking on your door still doesn't mean that it's an attractive opportunity. My point is, if customers are knocking on your door, that's fabulous, that's great. Just make the right research to figure out if it is an attractive opportunity. Try to make it an informed decision, one that is based on a complete set of consideration because it's a critical decision to make. And many times also we see intuition here playing a big role or just my opinion versus your opinion, and that's also problematic. Don't base this just on intuition.
