Recommended distance is 3-6 inches from the talkers mouth. Some people clip it on the shirt collar, others place it on the 2nd button hole under the chin. An alternative to the tie clip mount is to use an ear-set mount where the microphone is mounted on a wire boom that clips over the ear and positions the capsule just off to one side of the mouth. This positions the mic in a similiar spot to where Adam suggested but the mic moves with the talker and is out of sight which will help immensely with people that are 'mic shy'.
