    I've been doing freelance since I was 17 (now I'm 22) but I quickly felt burned out because of how the clients were so demanding. I've been making excuses to stop doing freelance for 2 years now and I really miss working. I came to browse your channel accidentally and fell in love with design all over again (been watching non-stop for around 3 days already). Thanks for fueling my desire of working again Chris :) I hope I can see you in the future when I finish university in Kansas and come back to California. Cheers!

    You can't lose something you don't have, but there is a thing called opportunity cost. Balance platitude with pragmatics.

    • @thefutur
      @thefutur  5 лет назад +1

      that's not really what opportunity cost means. when you do something, you can do something else. that's opportunity cost. not doing something that you didn't have isn't the same thing. I think.

      @@hhaydenshea Thanks. I'm good with sales calls but on the day I posted this comment, I was meeting a corporate client and was introducing a new £50k offer. This video helped me to talk about money early and anchor my pricing. Also reminded me, I wasn't selling to them. They approached me and wanted what I had to offer which allowed me to quickly reposition myself.

    It's better to recommend someone else, then to pretend you can do something you can't, fail, and have a disappointed client who will most likely spread bad news about you.
    Be honest with yourself and your (potential) client

  • @ali_rehmatullah
    @ali_rehmatullah 5 лет назад +2

    1:57 I never "perscribe" anything :D
    4 - 5 especially resonated with me and had some great actionable advice; loved the rankings of the types of questions and the idea of removing yourself 3 times from the sales call. The latter one especially echoes some of what Jonathan Stark was saying in a previous episode.
    I have question about 2 though, is it always a good idea to mirror someone exactly? Or are there certain "types" that are either safe or would do better in certain situations?

    Totally followed these 5 tips, and was so excited how well the call went, that I completely failed on getting any kind of a letter (email) of intent. We're supposed to talk again this week and I'm supposed to share ideas...but I'm nervous to do so without having any kind of a signed agreement. I don't want them to take my ideas and just go to someone else. What's the best way to recover from this? Is it something as simple as...hey...before I share my ideas with you, let's get something signed?
