We are a fellow design firm, with the occasional need to outsource illustration, animation and web design projects. Can you please send work samples, contact information and rate(s).
I feel like I get phished for information quite regularly and am wondering if the interest is genuine. I really don’t want to ‘waste’ my time giving out private information to ‘competitors/strangers.’ As it is, I have samples on my website that this person could have easily visited.
How would you handle this type of inquiry? Would you respond - perhaps even call?
ya I would just tell the politely that you dont discuss rates until you have met them personally or at least over the phone to discuss possible employment.
Tell them to send you details on the project (sample plans, what they want renderings of, etc.) and you’ll send them a proposal. That way you never reveal “rates”.
A friend of mine ran into mr t in a coffee place in la a while back so he went up to him and asked “Do you still pity the fool?”. Mr t said “sorry what?” so my friend goes again “do you still pity the fool?”. Mr. T says “Sorry what the hell are you talking about?” so my friend says “you remember the tv show where you used to pity all of the fools?” so Mr T said back to him “I pity the fool that has to ask whether I still pity the fool”.
