To avoid this problem, Greathouse suggests four simple yet effective ways: communicating early, upselling logically, offer temporarily free services, and ...

In order to have earned the occasional titles of “father of empiricism” or “father of experimental philosophy,” Sir Francis Bacon certainly had to make noteworthy and enduring contributions to scientific thought. His inventions are not drawn out on paper with schematics and did not directly address human plant anatomy, the cosmos or create a steam-powered machine, but are instead philosophical in nature, allowing perhaps an even greater and more impactful and broad-reaching legacy in virtually every field of science, technology and related subjects.
