For the record we hate it and refuse to do it 🙂 @designfrontuk @koistycassels @benjaminmurdoch @wmdarchitecture @StudioJleeds

@Studio_EM @StudioJleeds @wmdarchitecture @koistycassels @designfrontuk my initial visit is always gratis, but it's only ever a conversation
— benjamin murdoch (@benjaminmurdoch) July 5, 2012
@benjaminmurdoch so you don't go for the whole "just do us a quick sketch and if we like it we will give you the contract" thing then 🙂
— Studio EM (@Studio_EM) July 5, 2012
@Studio_EM hell no…no money, no drawy…i also charge stage payments up front rather than doing the work then waiting for them to cough up
— benjamin murdoch (@benjaminmurdoch) July 5, 2012
@benjaminmurdoch so you are the same as us… Studio Murdoch might be a possibility one day haha
— Studio EM (@Studio_EM) July 5, 2012
@Studio_EM @studiojleeds @benjaminmurdoch @koistycassels @designfrontuk initial meeting yes FOC, but not to pitch or smooze for the work!

@Studio_EM a hostile takeover will always be welcome…i'll be at the bar looking dishevelled and quite possibly drunk
— benjamin murdoch (@benjaminmurdoch) July 5, 2012
@Studio_EM Yup, initial discussions, but no pitches. @StudioJleeds @wmdarchitecture @benjaminmurdoch @designfrontuk
— Kirsty Cassels (@koistycassels) July 5, 2012
@koistycassels @Studio_EM @StudioJleeds @wmdarchitecture @designfrontuk i know someone who charges for the initial consultation…nice idea
— benjamin murdoch (@benjaminmurdoch) July 5, 2012
@benjaminmurdoch As a client I would never pay for an initial opinion/brainstorm! @Studio_EM @StudioJleeds @wmdarchitecture @designfrontuk
— Kirsty Cassels (@koistycassels) July 5, 2012
@koistycassels @Studio_EM @StudioJleeds @wmdarchitecture @designfrontuk depends what you get from it. it costs us to visit so payment isn't
— benjamin murdoch (@benjaminmurdoch) July 5, 2012
@benjaminmurdoch Just get them to come visit your office- win win. Plus they'd get @Studio_EM @StudioJleeds @wmdarchitecture @designfrontuk
— Kirsty Cassels (@koistycassels) July 5, 2012
@koistycassels @Studio_EM @StudioJleeds @wmdarchitecture @designfrontuk that bad an idea.
— benjamin murdoch (@benjaminmurdoch) July 5, 2012
@benjaminmurdoch a sense of what you stand for and the projects you've done before @Studio_EM @StudioJleeds @wmdarchitecture @designfrontuk
— Kirsty Cassels (@koistycassels) July 5, 2012
@koistycassels @Studio_EM @StudioJleeds @wmdarchitecture @designfrontuk but then you don't see the site. it's a catch 22 innit
— benjamin murdoch (@benjaminmurdoch) July 5, 2012
@koistycassels @benjaminmurdoch @studio_em @studiojleeds @designfrontuk ok next question? Upfront fees for the initial design / feasibility
— wmdarchitecture (@wmdarchitecture) July 5, 2012
@wmdarchitecture @koistycassels @studio_em @studiojleeds @designfrontuk upfront fees for all stages…or at the very least don't release
— benjamin murdoch (@benjaminmurdoch) July 5, 2012
@wmdarchitecture @koistycassels @studio_em @studiojleeds @designfrontuk work until payment has been received
— benjamin murdoch (@benjaminmurdoch) July 5, 2012
@benjaminmurdoch You've got to put something in to get something out I suppose @Studio_EM @StudioJleeds @wmdarchitecture @designfrontuk
— Kirsty Cassels (@koistycassels) July 5, 2012
@Studio_EM @StudioJleeds @wmdarchitecture @benjaminmurdoch @koistycassels @designfrontuk That is a big DON'T.
— Paul Nicholson (@chalkdesign) July 5, 2012
@chalkdesign @Studio_EM @StudioJleeds @wmdarchitecture @benjaminmurdoch @koistycassels – Time and effort to go but people don't like to pay
— designfront (@designfrontuk) July 5, 2012
@benjaminmurdoch @Studio_EM @StudioJleeds @wmdarchitecture @designfrontuk have to agree with @koistycassels to an extent
— designfront (@designfrontuk) July 5, 2012
@benjaminmurdoch @Studio_EM Ballsy, like it.
— Paul Nicholson (@chalkdesign) July 5, 2012
@benjaminmurdoch are they famous? is it Gehry? I couldn't justify charging for an initial chat, I even pay for the coffee 🙂 @koistycassels
— Studio EM (@Studio_EM) July 5, 2012
@benjaminmurdoch @koistycassels office / cafe visit first then if it is a qualifiable project we will do the site visit @wmdarchitecture
— Studio EM (@Studio_EM) July 5, 2012
advance payment for concept another upon concept approval 🙂 @wmdarchitecture @koistycassels @benjaminmurdoch @StudioJleeds @designfrontuk
— Studio EM (@Studio_EM) July 5, 2012
@Studio_EM @koistycassels @wmdarchitecture i find it easier to meet on site so i can figure out extent of work so i can then pitch for it
— benjamin murdoch (@benjaminmurdoch) July 5, 2012
@chalkdesign glad we are all on the same page then #SayNoToFreePitching 🙂
— Studio EM (@Studio_EM) July 5, 2012
@Studio_EM @wmdarchitecture @koistycassels @benjaminmurdoch @designfrontuk free initial consulatation but no design
— James Butterworth (@StudioJleeds) July 5, 2012
@Studio_EM @wmdarchitecture @koistycassels @benjaminmurdoch @designfrontuk work on a clear stage payment, do a bit get paid for it.
