Monthly Meeting - Web Design, UI & UX, Development, Mobile and more

Hi everyone,

Hope everyone is well and enjoying the spring weather. Our meeting is a week away, and I will give you an update on our April meeting.

In the last few months, our topic was focused on Design practice and Technical stuff. I am going to switch the gear a bit and would like to present on “Sales”, talk about how to sell web design.

Title of Keynote: How to get more clients and higher prices.

This training is for people who feel:

Wasting time on proposals that go nowhereCompeting on cost and driving down pricesNot charging what you're really worthDoing endless follow-up and chasingOnly winning a small number of projectsClosing bad deals with nightmare clients

About the presentation:

Being a good freelancer takes skill and practice. But even the greatest freelancer can find himself/herself penniless if he/she cannot figure out who to sell his services. For example, good designers know one thing really well: how to design. On the other hand, hunting down clients and negotiating prices to close a sale can be a time consuming and painful experience. Osamu Wakabayashi at Zen Ideas, will be teaching his sales process so that you, too, can be more productive with your sales time and price is no longer the client's primary concern.

About the speaker:

Osamu Wakabayashi has over 13 years of experience as a marketing and communication manager in both private and public sectors.
