As an example here is an email I received a couple of days ago..

<edit>email was a bunch of vague criteria, filled with maybes

I replied that we should meet up and get a better idea on the scope of the project...

How else can I evaluate a cost.. No one would buy a car with out knowing what make/model it is, what extras come with it etc ...

The hardest problem in many cases like this where the client is either unsure or has no idea of the process or their site is an after thought etc ..

Is enlightening them, personally I give what I truely believe is the best advice for their particular business, I take the time to get to know them and their business and advise on the best options before starting..

Yet the reaction can be more like they are listening to a used car salesman, because they do not know the process or what is involved, I find people automatically become wary of things they do not understand.. and think because they are in the dark they must be getting ripped off..

I'm still waiting for a reply after 2 emails and 2 phone calls to answer machine..
