Recently, I reached out to a whole bunch of businesses who needed new websites. I got a lead who I don't know exactly how to proceed with, wanted to get some more experienced members opinion.
ME: First message was my initial introduction
HIM: His response was yes, it needs work. He says he is interested in my thoughts and the costs to bring it up to date.
ME: I respond back that I understand that, in addition what else would you want in a website? I also loosely propose a call.
HIM: He responds that We don't like taking online inquiries because people will try to just price compare. And he wants a simple way to upload photos.
ME: I affirm that we can do those and I propose a call.
HIM: Can you show me examples of work you have done?
ME: I show him three sites we have done and one that I suggest modeling his site after. I even show screenshots and give a back end shot of what it would look like for him to upload a photo.
His response to this was exactly this:
"Yes, I like this approach. What is a likely fee for your helping us with these revisions?"
Is this guy just trying to get the cheapest site, should I just tell him a price now? I want to sell value and maybe it is not there to sell. How would you guys handle a response to this?
