Unpopular opinion: I thought giving free advice at parties was bad for business
Then a friend's cousin booked a full color service after a five-minute chat. Makes you think, doesn't it?

Maybe it's not always a bad move then?

Look at how often rushing into things backfires, like skipping the research on a big purchase (hello, buyer's remorse) or signing a lease without reading the fine print. It might work out sometimes by pure luck, but that's a terrible plan. You're basically hoping to get lucky while ignoring all the obvious ways it could go wrong. Why set yourself up for a problem you could have easily avoided?

Man, that's a great point! It reminds me of my old mechanic who would just chat about my car's weird noise for free, and that trust made me a customer for years. @loganb82 has a point about avoiding big mistakes, but sometimes those little, no-pressure talks are how you actually build a real connection. It's not really about the quick win, it's about showing you know your stuff without being pushy. That good feeling from a friendly chat can be way stronger than any sales pitch.
