So I was sitting in a conference call today taking copious notes on Word trying to figure out how this client wanted a project done. I gave him a fairly reasonable quote with the knowledge that I would be working on this for quite some time. I’m pretty sure it came out of my mouth fairly easily. Then came the kicker. The client would like it on an email on how it would go.

So here I am at 1 in the morning typing out the proposal and thinking. Man, I’m missing a lot. I really should create a template proposal and just drop in the major details at points here and here. Yet another project I would probably procrastinate on. Then I realize that I’m missing vital pieces of information that I should have asked the client.

Man, I should get a list of questions that I should ask the client together when on these conference calls. I always think of the major ones, but it’s these little minor ones that really get in the way.
