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. 1 Like |

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! |
