A few years ago, a country artist asked about my producer fees.

I explained that I don’t charge fees.

I also told him I probably wasn’t the right fit for his music.

But he kept pushing.

“But you must want something!”

We both moved on, but I thought about his pitch.

Every week, at the bottom of this email, I tell everyone exactly what I want.

Now imagine he had started with, “I signed up 29 subscribers to your newsletter.”

I still wouldn’t have produced his album.

But I would have paid attention.

Not everything is transactional.

But if you want someone’s help, learn what they actually value first.
