It can be a magnet for attracting new business.    Yes, that kind of "4 Tips for Job Interviews" may seem unsexy.

However, not everyone has access to the conversations of movers and shakers or knows how to listen in order to read between the lines.  That's why getting in on the conversation is the sweet spot in getting ahead.

If you take time to produce a detailed query letter, you will often find your lead, the beginning of your article, is in your query. It might not be exactly there, but the query will give the editor (and you) a solid idea of what the article is about and perhaps where the story begins. For instance, if you look at my dog query and compare it to the final article, you will find the two are very similar.
