How I Turned a $1,500 Mobile App Deal into $5,000
The Art of Client Negotiation for Maximum Value
I’m sharing the exact conversation from our Google Meet and how it went. Also, our call lasted about 45 minutes and involved a lot of technical details about the app, but I won’t waste your time explaining all that here. I’m focusing on how I closed the deal — and how you can do the same without lowering your value.
Client: Hey Rohit, thanks for hopping on the call.
Me: Hey Mark (can’t reveal name), no problem at all. Glad we could connect. So, you’re looking to build a mobile app, right? I love bringing app ideas to life. Tell me, what’s your budget looking like for this project? ( We exchanged some emails earlier )
Mark: Well, I’ve got around $1,500 to work with for now.
Me: $1,500. Okay. And how important is this app to your business, Mark!
Mark: It’s pretty crucial, Rohit. I think a mobile app could really take my business to the next level.
Me: I hear you. So, what specific problem are you hoping to solve with this app for $1,500?
Mark: We need to connect with customers in a more engaging way, build loyalty, and drive more sales.
