      ​@abiconnick I have, I run a content creation agency, and I want to get more leads in, you mostly rely on inbound leads because you have a personal brand, but I don't have a brand and I'm too young to show my face out there, what you think is the most reliable and best way to get outbound leads, also your content is pure gold, keep it up❤

    I literally dread doing them and I’m realizing it’s because I don’t have a lot of clarity on how that serves both myself and the client.
    I’m at the bottom of the hill (from your illustration) currently in a season of finally fully putting myself out there outside of referrals, so thank you for sharing! 😊

      Based on the fact that you’ve been able to scale to six figures, do you do everything yourself or have you outsourced some parts of your process to expedite your deliverables?

      Canva is a great tool and one worth adding to your design tool kit. I wouldn’t say it should replace Photoshop altogether, but it has its advantages, esp when it comes to convenience.
      What are you struggling with the most?

    First time commenting on one of you video! Just wanted to say i really appreciate all this info you've given! It'll definitely help me alot going forward.
    But one thing I want to know is if a client decides the full brand package at the enquiry page but chooses the lowest budget, how do you navigate that?

    • @abiconnick
      @abiconnick  Місяць тому

      ahh thank you! Really appreciate it, and glad it was helpful :) In the proposal, it explains what the 2 price options inculde, normally on lower budget projects I only do a mini brand strategy and not a full one, which saves me a lot of time meaning I can offer it for a lower cost!

    Hi Abi, this is a great info. Thanks for sharing
    I have a question though. Is it a good practice to send original design files(Ai, EPS) to clients as a final delivery? what I think on this is, once you send original files to clients then you may have least chance to work with them in the future as they may find someone cheaper option. so, they send the original files to that cheaper designer and work with them with low budget. What I practice is I never send original design files, I just send image files so that they can apply at suitable places. what are your thoughts on this? we'd love to hear. Thanks

    • @abiconnick
      @abiconnick  Місяць тому +1

      Hey, glad you found it useful! So when it comes to file types I always supply ai and eps files of their visual identity (logos and illustrations). But if it’s graphic design work (brochures, menus etc) I only supply them with the final files (PDF). If they want the master file this would be an additional charge! Hope this helps☺️

      Glad it's helpful :) So I know calls aren't for everyone, instead you can always send them over a in-depth questionnaire to fill out, but I would advise practicing to help get more comfortable on camera. It was awkward for me when I started out, but practice and reputation helped a lot! Try do it with a family member or friend and get them to pretend they are a client- also, it's a lot less awkward when you can bullet points or a script to follow, so you always know what question to ask next!
