Client Recap, The Republican - Part 3
Part 1
Part 2
Part 4
I also found The Republican very intriguing because I’m 95% sure I don’t know his real name.
Now, before you jump on me for taking a client without being sure of his real name, if you’re provider, you know that there are ways to verify clients so that you feel safe. This one chose to go the reference route. References checked out but that didn’t mean I got his real name.
Anyway, I actually realized that I didn’t have his real name when he let slip that he hides under different “layers of identities” (if I’m even quoting him correctly).
The conversation around his identity was interesting…
First, he talked about how one of my verification options were tough and no one with a lot to lose would willingly go through that process…
What could he possibly stand to lose that my other clients don’t have? Family is definitely worth protecting and all of my clients have wives and children and still verify with me so he can’t be referring to family.
Is he referring to money?? Possibly. Most of my clients are not rich… So, maybe this guy is rich. He could also be referring to his career. His coveted career is not worth the risk… Whatever his career may be.
Secondly, all of his secretiveness leads me to believe that he’s more “important” than I realize. The name he gave me doesn’t turn up shit on Google and his background check leads to another dead end. His name is definitely false so I’m intrigued.
Okay. Next thing. His job or occupation is a mystery.
On this note, I’ve at least narrowed down the industry he works in. He tried to hide his occupation from me but he couldn’t because he kept using language that is normally used by someone in his industry. And I also found out he loves what he does because people who love their jobs are so immersed in that world that their jobs inject themselves into conversation when they’re not at work. So, I definitely know what he does for a living. He also gave me some business advice that clued me in even further as to what his occupation is.
Anyway, the more he sees me, the more he’ll learn to trust me and eventually reveal who he is. He is proud of his accomplishments and he loves his job.
But I’m gonna laugh out loud if I find out his salary, house, and car is “mid” at best. (“Sir, you were guarding your identity when all you make is $300K annually, drive a Tesla, and live in a $400K home??? Okay…”).
Anyway, he came through wearing Prada loafers so I’m going to guess the following about him: he makes at least half a million annually, drives a $80-90K car, and lives in a half a million dollar home.
I love material possessions so all of this is fun for me to wonder about. Like, sir, how much money DO you make!?!?? I wanna know! 😂
