    Company called Impact Solutions on my VM states they have ""reporting opportunity"" in Indianapolis - anyone in the region want to talk to them? This is a raw lead. I have no idea who these people are. It may be that they're looking for someone to sub out for a project for one of their customers. In any event they asked for someone local to Indianapolis.

    PS - A policy such as ""our minimum fee for a xxxxxxx is $ yyyy"" will save you a ton of time spent with tire kickers. Whether it's a report or an import or a script I believe minimums help set a budget right up front and lets the person inquiring self-qualify. Be advised - the VAST majority of web inquiries are companies looking for either free quick questions or someone willing to bill in 1/10 of an hour increments at rates dating from 1985. And all initial discussion, scope, discovery, planning and project management should be non-billable.
