So many people fail to recognize when to talk and when not to. Many people (aka potential clients) won't see someone continuing to talk as that person having experience, but will see it as the writer/freelancer still feeling uncertain enough to want to talk the potential client into the 'sale'.

I do love the advice you all give on this site! “Then zip it.” is the best advice to increase sales! So many people fail to recognize when to talk and when not to.
