a small flaw in this plan: you can't name drop big names in an industry without having worked for them first and if you've worked for them already chances are pretty good that you don't need to name drop.
LOL. Are you for real? Obviously you would have worked for the other big name business FIRST before you drop their name. Are you not smart enough to realize this was an example?? LMAO.
What a great video! Yes, I've personally gotten a ton of value from this. I can list the principles of influence to you, but would have never applied it in such a natural-sounding way. Excited for the next videos. Hope you are doing well though, as you sound a little less energetic than usual.
business want to make money, not to pay money, the moment u reach to them, they know they wont make, they will spend. so, how do u help them Make money? there is the answer
Also know when you get on the phone with a prospect. Sound confident and interested in them. Genuinely be interested in their issues and their business and they will they will trust you.
Thanks alot for this content. I've got interested clients, but now I know how to catch their interest by watching this. I just wanna ask, how can I close a negotiation between the client and I? How can I get them to hire my team?
I love this! Putting yourself in the perspective of the client, receiving email after email from web designers really opens your eyes. One question: I know designing a more efficient website is important, but how do we actually have that lead to more sales? How can we confidently say we can give the clients more leads? Do we also do SEO and marketing? And if so do we include the budget for that in the price for the site?
You drive more sales by taking the lead. Begining with the content. In general web designer asks for content and how many pages the client wants but he can't answer that, that is not his job.. You have to listen, understand the goal and the prescribe a solution and in your solution yes you can include digital marketing for example (as a monthly retainer). I even put a professional photoshoot in the package, that makes so much difference guys. For the price you will charge, try to estimate how much money you can make the company and the ask a small chunk of it. Hope it helps.
I'm 5/5 all ticked web designer #1 lol. I've built my own website projects and portfolio, but no real experience yet. I was planning to reach out to potential clients today but this changed it for me. education first. but what should I do? should I learn seo, ads?
Simple. Get paid for results. If you come to a business saying "You won't have to pay me if this doesn't work." there is very little chance they will reject your offer. In the worst-case scenario, you will not get paid but you will at least have something to show other business owners.
Hello! I was wondering if you know anything about Flippa or empire flippers? and if which one you recommend to sell my online business and if you have any tutorials on what's the process? Thanks!
One question, Fox: The way I used to think of websites is like sales pitch for the customers/visitors of any business and now as a Web designer, our role is to build and improve that pitch more and more so that our client can have more customers. I convince my clients about this. But this is not the full story. Website acts as the second step in funnel, the first step is to drive more traffic to the website. This is from where more customers comes. This is why it's hard for me to digest the fact that website can help business without the first step of funnel. No traffic = no sales
Ya correct. I like to think of three overall stages that need to connect well - the situation before people get on the site and to actually get them on the site - the website itself and how it helps to sell, create action, and get people ready to decide - the handoff between the website and the business, making sure we connect the online side with the actual business the best we can All three are needed to have the best results possible.
@@FoxWebSchool So, as a Web designer, we work to ensure the last two things for businesses? What are some of the ways you answer your clients when they question you about what about #1st stage? How your service will help my clients to come over the website? Thanks a lot for your earlier reply.
So I should create a few websites for free and track results. Then reach out to other businesses and build trust with my past results to charge a profitable rate ?
When you step back and look at it what you are saying seems obvious. Probably why it scared me so much when I realized how much I sound like the first developer. How far were you into web dev when you made these connections? Your reddit post brought me here btw, so glad I came across that, great information.
Depends - a lot of the time no because you have valuable experience. It depends though on the niche and how much of a direct competitor they are. Usually you can decide using your gut - if it feels right or not. Also you can be open with them and see how they feel about it.
Wow 😮 just be a person that has made a website for huge companies than you can the trust. Bro are you kidding me? You talked about noone trusting you cause your knew.

I really like that email example! My sales pitch are basically the same as the first web designer, im just trying to change that now. thank you!
Thanks Alicia - ya we have all been there but unfortunately that method has a very very low return on investment for the energy spent.
a small flaw in this plan: you can't name drop big names in an industry without having worked for them first and if you've worked for them already chances are pretty good that you don't need to name drop.
This small flaw is actually all what this video is wrong about.
Glad I'm not the only one that notice this!
LOL. Are you for real? Obviously you would have worked for the other big name business FIRST before you drop their name. Are you not smart enough to realize this was an example?? LMAO.
This is an eye-opener, one of a kind, life-changing speech. I'm doing the bad examples you mentioned all the time. lol.
This video is amazing! I can't get enough of it. Great work!
Fantastic value Rob!
Also love the setup in your recording room!
Thanks!
Looking forward to taking action on what I'm learning. Very grateful for these videos!
Thanks Sam!
Can’t wait to learn how to get my first few so I can build trust.
Thanks for following along Tayte
Ok great. But what if I have never worked with some other company that is well know. How does that work anyway?
What a great video! Yes, I've personally gotten a ton of value from this. I can list the principles of influence to you, but would have never applied it in such a natural-sounding way. Excited for the next videos. Hope you are doing well though, as you sound a little less energetic than usual.
Thanks - just recorded it later at night so I was a little quieter haha. My usual "Fox" voice would wake up the neighbours!
so you advise to new web designers is to build trust, but how to build trust when you have no portfolio?
This is awesome advice but what if you're just starting? How do you sell when you don't have results from big competitors your prospect would know?
There's the $64,000.00 question. He's leveraging past success to garner more success. But if you are new, you might not have those successes yet.
business want to make money, not to pay money, the moment u reach to them, they know they wont make, they will spend. so, how do u help them Make money? there is the answer
Also know when you get on the phone with a prospect. Sound confident and interested in them. Genuinely be interested in their issues and their business and they will they will trust you.

Thank you so much Rob. You really do think differently. I really appreciate your WORK SMART instead of WORK HARD approach.
Thanks!

Find a niche you want to work in long term, offer them a simple free website.
Use that to sell the next paid project.
I'll show a whole method on this over the next few videos.
I am watching your videos now, very helpful since I am a newbie to a web desining company, sales rep. I really need some tutorials to improve.
Hello!
I was wondering if you know anything about Flippa or empire flippers? and if which one you recommend to sell my online business and if you have any tutorials on what's the process? Thanks!
Amazing explanation. Thank-you for this video, Rob.
What if you don't have past work?

Ya it is the best way I have seen that works consistently (based on 100s of people I have seen growing web design businesses).

It took me longer than most ha! I like teaching cause usually I make all the mistakes myself along the way haha

If anyone needs help with email marketing, I have 3 years experience with it and would love to help!
Fantastic video! But wouldn't the business owner scared to work with someone, who worked with his competitor?
Depends - a lot of the time no because you have valuable experience. It depends though on the niche and how much of a direct competitor they are. Usually you can decide using your gut - if it feels right or not. Also you can be open with them and see how they feel about it.
Lol how does this help anyone just starting out without any clients.
Trust
Ha correct
You're focusing too much on making your sentences sound pretty instead of getting to the point.just saying , take this as constructive criticism
Wow 😮 just be a person that has made a website for huge companies than you can the trust. Bro are you kidding me? You talked about noone trusting you cause your knew.
It’s for people who already have done projects. I got a bunch of other videos on how to start with no experience.
