Client asked for a discount in person, then ghosted me for a month
I met a potential client for coffee at the Flying Star on Rio Grande last month to talk about a website project, we agreed on $1,800 and they seemed happy. A week later they sent a text saying they'd found someone cheaper but wanted my opinion on the other quote, so I broke down the differences honestly and they just stopped replying. Is it better to hold your rate and let cheap prospects walk, or is there a way to win those folks back without looking desperate?
