its called a rip off. the answer is no. If your portfolio is not a good enough example of your work, they need to move on. If anything, they need to sign a contract with a kill fee. Now, I have done that.
Some agencies event do kill fees when they do proposals with comps included. But, you still get paid for your initial time. If they like it, it's taken into consideration that those ideas were rough and you begin going into rounds of addtions and revisions, or possibly everyone missed the mark and they ended up going with you because they like yours the best -- In which case you comp all over again, but with the contract awarded to you.
Moral of the story? Contract or no deal. Else you'll be one of those "I got fucked" stories that gets posted on Newstoday weekly (daily).
