Question for freelance website designers

[TheDillon__]

Hey all!

Currently between jobs and looking for a way to pay the phone bill this month. (Yes, I'm aware, I'm slowlane trash. I created a budget that will allow me to save more money and pay down my credit cards once I get my next job, and I'm building my business system as we speak.)

I've noticed that I spend a lot of my time in cafes all over the metroplex, and somehow, after four years of living here, I'm still discovering more. And it's a pretty common theme that they either don't have a website, or the one they do is horribly outdated or just...unpleasant.

A few templates and a couple hours work, I can fix that problem!

The plan is to just go in for a cup, start building the website, then contact the owner and offer to sell them the site.

My only problem is I'm inexperienced when it comes to sales. What type of pitch would I use in person or in email to help these people get better, beautiful websites?

Thanks!

Dillon
