Talking with a New Client

Posted by: Samantha Enslen, president and senior editor, January 15th, 2008

Preliminary conversations with a potential new client can be nerve-wracking for many freelancers. If you’re nodding your head in agreement, check out this article from JCM Enterprises about their experience approaching blog designer Brian Gardner about a new project, and his interaction/negotiations with them.

JCM reminds us that you don’t have to have some sort of stellar sales pitch when you’re talking to a client, nor do you have to have an overly formal presentation. Instead, it’s better to just be yourself, speak frankly about your costs and availability, and freely give information rather than pushing a hard sell. Anyway, don’t bother reading my paraphrase — just check out their comments yourself.
