ok, so we've put in a proposal for a website for a highish profile lawyer company in the city. I've heard that they apparently like our stuff alot, but they are just considering the price - I'm not supposed to know this.
any tips on what I could do, should I be chasing them up? or just leave it to them to decide? Don't want to be pushy.

1. kill the competition
2. watch out by lowering your price. it could be interpreted as producing lesser quality. so i would advise no, don't lower it.

so yeah just sit back and wait.

Let them think it over. Then contact them, via email or voice, and let them know you are excited about the prospect of working together, and that they should feel free to contact you if they have any questions reguarding the timeline, price or proposal that you had submitted.

Wasn't planning on lowering the price. But just wondering if I should chase them up, ask them if they need more info, clarifications, or just leave it. I'm thinking leave it, but am not 100% sure.

if they really want to work w/ you and if they really think you're too expensive they will contact you and talk about it. seriously. or else they ain't that psyched about it. so yeah, play solitaire and get a coffee.

Not chase them persay, but def get in touch after a few days have passed. sound like your excited about the project and open if they have any questions.
i find that clients almost will always haev 2 questions about proposals; timeline and price.
Usually they just need to claify certain things (milestones and price breakdown), not so much lowering the price than justifying paying, and a payment schedule.
You can just leave it and wait for them to either contact you again or not, but I feel making an effort to be friendly and approachable works the best.

hmm. pricing, payment scheduals and project schedual are all pretty well outlined in the proposal so they probably don't have questions about it.
I guess I'll give it a week or so.
cheers
