Very few people hand over checks without being asked. If you find someone who does, call us. Qualify your investor by making sure you ask the right person for the correct amount. Ask in person if at all possible or telephone directly yourself. Wait until the time is right, but don't wait too long.

Take no for an answer. But not the first time you hear it. Try to turn the first no into a maybe and find a way to leave the door open. If you receive a check in person, put it in an envelope rather than throw it into your pocketbook or briefcase. This behavior indicates your sense of responsibility for the funds.
