I think it's always good to have guidelines or cheat sheets, if you will. But that's all they are, guidelines. It's handy to have a good one or two page guideline to start from, especially if it can be used a a checklist.
But I also wouldn't stick to a basic template, unless plenty of flexibility and adaptability is built in... use it as a jumping off point to develop your style and way of doing things. I would think any pro that's any good has guideline apps to go by... even if it's all in their heads.
Answer me this... if these apps aren't any good, then why do people keep giving them out? If they're still around there must be some value in them and hopefully they actually work. If they didn't I'd think they'd die off quickly.
I'm asking from a marketing free report point of view here.
What do you think Alan and anybody else out there reading this? Are these apps any good? Can pros find them useful or they only good for newbies starting out?
