Thank you. I am thinking that if I want a 100% from someone, I don't want them to answer me with "probably", because I would then say - It is either a yes or a no. Don't tell me "probably". Probably means you are "almost" certain. I really want a commitment from you.
If I want a contract signed, I wouldn't want a client to say, "I will probably sign it." You know what I mean? Just saying...
