I’ve been working with a potentially huge client for my new web design business I started in March.
We have been working together mainly consultation work. He wants me to work on 4 different big projects for multiple businesses he has.
So far I have helped him do brainstorming and research for ideas. I also drew up two web design proposals and a logo design for him.
Last week he told me he would give me a retainer for my services this far. He also told me he would look at the proposals I gave him and draft logo ideas but he hasn’t done that yet and we have a meeting tomorrow...
My issue is he hasn’t been looking at my proposals for the projects he wants me to do for him. He just keeps giving me more mini tasks to do to get ready for the full design.
For me, when I do a website, the research and designing is usually part of the whole process. He’s acting like he doesn’t want to start the project until that’s done.
I am allowing this to happen because of the potential learning I can get from him. He’s a millionaire with lots of business knowledge. plus I’m just hungry for clients. I haven’t gotten any real web design clients yet. Just mini freelancing jobs here and there.
What do you suggest I do to get him look at the proposals and to pay the deposits that I require To start the project?
He’s a strong personality and takes over our conversations and I don’t know how to overpower the conversation without being rude.
Any suggestions?
