Rant: Lost a client because I didn't check their LinkedIn profile

Met a guy at the Edmonton Chamber lunch mixer last month. Seemed like a great fit for my services. Didn't check his LinkedIn until after he ghosted me - turns out he was a direct competitor in disguise.

Wait, you're telling me this guy was at a real networking event pretending to be a potential client, but he was just a competitor doing recon? That's such a sneaky move, I can't believe people actually do that. It sucks you put in the time and effort talking to him, only to find out he was wasting your time on purpose. I totally get why you'd feel burned by that - trust is everything in this business, and once it's broken, it's hard to bounce back. Hopefully, karma catches up with him, and you end up finding way better clients who are actually legit.

One mixer conversation is hardly a disaster though.
