Hey Everyone,
I recently launched my web design agency and decided to kick off with cold calling. I’ve reached out to about 100 businesses, particularly painters in Toronto with basic websites, offering a no upfront cost deal at $25 a month for hosting and maintenance for my first 20 clients. Unfortunately, I haven’t seen much traction. Any suggestions on what I might be doing wrong or if my offer needs tweaking? I only do static sites so basically no e-commerce would that be limiting myself?
As a small business person, I hate monthly deals. If I pay a monthly fee, I expect monthly sessions detailing what I got for that months fee. And if there is really nothing there, I feel ripped off. I personally prefer 1 price for the project. You can give me an installment price and a lump sum. And go into detail for “maintenance” and what that entails.
I also, no matter what, run from “act now” deals. It gives me the feeling the sales person doesnt want me to have time to analyze the deal because it’s bad for me, good for them.
