A: "$6,000 is already discounted from $7,000. Price is firm."
Q: "What about phased approach?"
A: "No - project is complete deliverable at $6,000."

A: "Not in this project - that's a separate future project if desired."
Q: "What if email migration takes longer?"
A: "Additional time billed at $175/hour, but I expect 2 hours will be enough."
IF CLIENT PUSHES BACK ON ANYTHING
==================================
Budget too high:
- Remind them this is already discounted ($150/hr vs $175/hr standard)
- Explain value: custom property system, managed hosting, ongoing support
- If they truly can't afford it, this may not be the right project to take on
Timeline too long:
- Be honest: you have commitments that must be completed first
- Explain that 3-4 weeks lets them prepare content and materials
- Emphasize quality over speed
Wants monthly hosting:
- Explain administrative burden of 12 invoices vs 1
- Total cost is identical
- This is your standard practice
Any scope additions:
- Use change order process: written approval, quote at $250/hour
- Or defer to Phase 2 after launch
- Protect the $6,000 fixed fee
YOUR POSITION
=============
You have:
- Professional contract based on proven templates
- Fair pricing (discounted for startup)
- Clear scope with proper boundaries
- Realistic timeline
- All standard legal protections
You should:
- Be confident in the proposal
- Be firm on price, timeline, and scope
- Be helpful and professional
- Be willing to walk away if not right fit
This is a good project if:
- They accept terms as presented
- They have realistic expectations
- They can provide materials promptly
- Long-term hosting relationship is likely
This is NOT a good project if:
- They want major discounts or scope expansion
- They can't accept timeline
- They seem difficult or demanding
- Risk outweighs reward
REMEMBER
========
- This is a relationship business (Dayna connects you to Landproz too)
- Good execution could lead to referrals
- Hosting is where long-term value is ($600/year recurring)
- Professional boundaries protect both parties
- Clear scope prevents future problems
- Written agreement is essential
LITERALLY JUST DO THIS
=======================
1. Email Dayna asking for legal business name and signing info
2. Wait for response
3. Update contract with her info
4. Format to Word
5. Send to Dayna
6. Answer any questions
7. Get signed contract and $2,000 payment
8. Build website in 4-5 weeks
9. Collect final payment

That's it. You're ready.
