Question: Do you need Clients URL for proposal creation? Can I just say, a photographer in UK, will that do?
Answer: It is always good to have the the URL of the prospect client as it helps to highlight isues with their website, social media presence. Customers love personalization, so it will help you convert better if you share the clients URL. Also there is no risk as we never contact our customers customer, thats our promise.
When we analyze a business, we need to look at:
- Industry (where we don't need the website URL) but every business may not be same, example: A photographer doesn't mean anything, the photographer may be focusing on certain niche, the website can reveal and we will be able to do a better analysis.
- Business strength
- Business phase
- Highlighting some of the issues on web presence etc
All this helps in creating a better proposal.
