    I Used This Script to Close a $10K Web Design Project

This is the first video in a series aimed at diving deep into every step of the web design process to secure high-paying clients. I discuss the importance of using an outline to maintain control during sales calls, breaking the call into four sections: discovery, solutions, process, and close.
