Hey guys,

I need a quick one from you guys. Am having a meeting with a prospective client who needs a website. Is it advisable i go along with a laptop? I recently read an article the says its not advisable a webdesigner visit a client for the first time with a laptop, siting that the client's attention will diverted from the negotiation at hand.

Quick one guys.

MY TIPS

GO WITH YOUR LAPTOP, AND DONT OPEN IT UP, UNTIL YOU SENSE HE WANTS YOU TO TURN IT UP

THE ONLY REASONS WHY YOU ARE OPENING THE LAPTOP IS TO SHOW HIM EITHER A SAMPLE OF WHAT YOU FEEL HIS WEBSITE SHOULD LOOK LIKE , OR YOU ARE SHOWING YOUR PAST WORKS

LOOK GOOD, IST IMPRESSION LASTS, WHEN D CONTRACT CLICKS, YOU CAN DECIDE TO NOW LOOK ANYHOW U LIKE

FIND OUT BEFORE HAND WHAT THE GUY DOES, AND PERUSE OTHER SITES SIMILAR TO WJAT THE GUY DOES BEFOR YOU GO SEE HIM

TALK LIKE A PROFESSIONAL , BUT DOT USE TOO MUCH WEB JARGONS

IF AFTER BARGAINING, HE STILL DOESNT AGRREE TO YOUR PRICE, THANK HIM WARMLY AND LEAVE , DONT SHOW SIGNS OF DESPERATION.

Thanx for the quick one. I already have a demo online for them. I'll hold my laptop incase i need to use it.

Sincere

hey guy go with your laptop oooo, don't depend on showing them their demo on the internet, i know what i'm talking about

Hey,
A quick respond to ur request is that

1. Go with your LAPTOP

2. Don't be too forward

3. Try all much you can do to convince your client

4. Talk like a professional web designer

5. Be courageous and be smart

Why not? Go with your laptop, you will surely need it to show your sample designed sites.

Guy!!,
Goin to see a client without a laptop is like going for a job interview without a CV.

Go with your laptop.be calm,sit back and relax when you're with them.they'll usually have barrel of questions (if they're not knowledgable).like someone said,you only open your laptop when they indicate so.this happened to me exactly 2 days ago,and all said and done,i walked home with the cheque.it was lovely.so do like all have said.talk like d pro,and you'll be treated like one!
