The problem
Taking on the wrong jobs costs you time and reviews. But a blunt no feels rude, and you'd like the customer to think of you for the right job next time.
The outcome
The job is too small, too big, outside your area or just not your thing. Say no in a way that helps the customer and builds goodwill with whoever you send it to.
