The point at 6:00 is super important - pause your ego and acknowledge that. Especially for all the people not understanding what sales really is - solving THEIR issues, making THEM money. Not bells and whistles, the site itself, your onw prowess and technical jargon. Great practical tips on how to do that in the video. Good stuff again, Pavlo
We're forgetting another type of client... the client who already has a thriving business but has a horrible looking website. This client is more (or equally) concerned about their "online presence/image" and simply wants something that makes them look better online. THIS client needs a different conversation/approach than just positioning revenue return... they need to resolve a "vanity" issue, so I focus on how the website will make them/their business look and feel. I also have found that "vanity clients" don't like to pay thousands of dollars, as their issue is more distant from revenue, so they often just step away from high prices and find a cheaper solution/freelancer. Just get good at assessing the potential client. Ask a lot of questions, read the room, and carve your conversation :)
This video shines a light on a common struggle for web designers, but it also offers valuable insights for overcoming undercharging and building a thriving business. Remember, demonstrating the tangible value of your work to clients is key to charging what you're worth and achieving success in the industry! 💼
Thank you this is really great advice very encouraging actually. I’m nervous I have my first zoom call tomorrow with a potential and I’m so nervous but this helped 👍🏻😃
I do have a questions regarding the payment processing. This is where I find it confusing specially for a beginner like me and I'm sure many people would relate to this question. The Question is, What are the steps to set up a payment method for charging clients? like, do I have to charge them manually? where I have to input their card information each time to claim their monthly retainer? I would really appreciate it if someone can also answer this question
From my experience, there are typically two methods. And there is no right or wrong answer, it's whatever works for you and your business. One method is to set up a Stripe account, and simply get the customer to enter their credit card information one time and it will auto-bill them every month. Another method is to use invoicing software like QuickBooks, and send them an invoice every month where the client has to make a payment themselves. I personally use stripe. It avoids me chasing after clients for payments, and makes it easier for both the client and myself to collect/pay every month. Hope that helps :)
ive been in the space for about 2 years now and i just cant stay consistent i hit a road block and quit ive gotten over 5 trial clients idk wtf im doing idk what to do idk how to obtain motivation for this bro man idk
Hey Pavlo, I recently started my webdesign agency and i even got 2 people intersted in building them a website,but I entirely forgot the legal side of things,so i wanted to ask you if you even sign contracts or you just skip that part. I would really appericate a response!
Hey there, I had a question about Go high level. If I work with clients and want to manage there relations (reviews) I would need there google account details to connect to high level as a sub account? How should I go about this because a local business would not just give there google business account details. How do you go about this.
Pavlo, big fan man. I have a question, how do I go about getting a domain and getting the clients website live? That’s the main issue I’ve ran into. Thanks
One way that works is to just bill your client for the domain fee and private registration. It should come out close to $22 if you use something like GoDaddy. Or you can become a domain name reseller with most places that sell domains online and build it into your own site. This way you have access to point the DNS servers wherever you need to for the hosting, or you can also get hosting plans right there on some place like GoDaddy. GHL is great, but it can be daunting for the high monthly charge unless you are making the overhead back and making your monthly bills on top of that. What I did when I started was to get a reseller plan with a host that had about 60 seats. Then I built my own version of GHL to save money with the tools I needed. Not everyone is a dev, I get that, but even with your own simple hosting plan you could get started with basic WP sites and start. Take some online free classes too if you have never set up shop or get a mentor that can show you the ropes. Good luck!
Thanks Pavlo! but i kind ofgot a small question, what happens to the websites built in GHL if i cancel my subscription, will the websites i create also go down(i mean will they stop being hosted)
