Hey Everyone,

I started a web design/SEO business a few months back and recently I have had two potential clients who I have had sales call with and both of them went very well. The problem is after the sales calls...for the 1st client I dealt with after the call he was unresponsive to emails and then replied two weeks later saying he wants the work done but not until august which he never mentioned in the call, The second client I am dealing with said during the call that he accepts my offer and price for a redesign of his website but wants to show my offer to his previous web designer before he accepts my deal, he even had his previous web designer call me and he went over all the technical aspects of the website with me and then I texted the client to move forward and he said he is still waiting to hear back from his old designer and will let me know in a few days of his decision. I feel like both these clients can lead to major headaches in the future and these signs are a red flag. Does anyone have any similar experience to clients like this?
