Why do web designers with no site or a poor site seek sales help?
We've had more than one web designer over the years, some from the USA and some from other countries - - and most are recent ones who do the following:
1) Seek us out via multiple means to ask for sales help
2) Are reluctant to show us their credentials, site or anything at all, yet want detailed info on how they should go about getting sales - -i.e. give them free consulting about the best ways we know to make money (always 4-figures minimum per sale, too) .
Issues that arise:
- we do need some type of info to see if there is anything we think would sell, in our humble opinion, since it would be with our efforts, and all communications are kept confidential.
- we research anyway, based upon the little you share, IF communications get that far. And we always find either no website, very, very poor quality ones not worth 3-digits, let alone 4-digits, and zero info of valuable for sales like basic contact info, types of web design services offered in detail like which codes / scripts / cart software, etc. you use, template samples, etc.
- these web designers get upset that we turn them down, and basically want more and more and more free info to help them get their business up and running. They argue and send back insults galore, and we are not even into any type contract stage at all, this is just preliminary emails and pre-proposal discussion.
- they insult this forum and Warriors, saying Warriors are too cheap for their services, when we send them here to get in touch with today's Internet marketing more (one real issue is: educated Warriors don't want to spend $1,000 + for something from a stranger with no site, no contact info, no nothing...)
I mean get real. Why are these people surfacing? Anyone else running into this?
Time wasters, or what, wow! And the insults they throw because you don't want to be there and help them for free with business start up, growth, sales - the whole nine yards. I mean sheesh - -my kids aren't that bad!
