Eric Deeran warns creators against quoting prices in DMs. Instead, invite clients to a brief Zoom call to understand their needs first, since price without context has no value. He offers a free cheat sheet outlining his sales-call workflow for closing deals.
If a client dm's you and says how much for a video, for the love of God, please do not send them the price. Here's what you should say instead. Hey Eric, thanks for reaching out. I know you're interested in possibly getting some content done for your business. Everything we do is custom, so it really just depends on your business's situation and what you need. Would you be against hopping on a short zoom call for us to understand what you actually need and give you the best solution? This way you're not giving them the price right off the bat because price without context has no value and it gives you a chance chance to build a gap in the sales call of where they are to where they want to be so you can put a price to solving that gap. If you want to learn our sales call workflow, comment the word cheat sheet down below and I'll send you our free cheat sheet going over exactly how you can close deals like this.
