@MendySchech How do you make that first question specific enough to answer? "Tell me the bad news" could mean very different things to different clients.
When a client asks "can you do it cheaper?", don't just drop your price.
Say:
"Sure. Which part should we take out?"
Why it works: the price stays tied to the work, so a lower number means less scope, not less value.
Send this to a freelancer who discounts on the first push.
@SelamShivam Ok makes sense. I’ve been there. Arriving to a meeting and finding out that the prospect did not take the time to read or watch what we sent them.
@SelamShivam A briefing before the call is a smart way to skip the warm-up.
Do people actually read it beforehand, or does it work better as the thing you walk through together?
@thedeanaguilar The follow-up is worth discussing.
What do you say when you reach back out without knowing whether the silence means timing, fit, or no interest?
@JayJayX We build VybeScript for Mac, so we're not a neutral recommendation.
Are you looking to dictate into apps or transcribe recorded files? And what matters most: accuracy, workflow, or price?
When you don't want a job, don't just say no.
Quote a go-away fee: a price high enough that a yes makes it worth it.
"For this scope and timeline, here's my number."
Why it works: they walk, or you're glad they said yes.
Send this to a founder taking jobs they dread.
@atishayhyperke I like the approach but almost every paragraph in that page started with “we”.
So do you think that focusing so much on who “we” are and do is a good thing? Honest question, not being a cynic.
@AaronxShepherd One real detail tied to why they'd buy, the rest plain. That's the line.
How short is your best first email, roughly in lines?
We are literally going through the cold email phase right now.
@prince_twets@preethamrangu@X We use Parakeet as the transcription engine and on-device AI for text correction and other fall-backs!
We just improved the transcript speed a lot recently, and the software also learns your terms and jargon fo better accuracy.
@akshaymarch7 Happy Diwali 🪔
Building small Mac apps from Valencia: currently a dictation tool people talk into instead of typing.
What are you building these days when you're not teaching?
@chetanbvaghela 100 real people who chose a midnight couples-app builder is a clean milestone.
What made the partner-invite leak visible only after people replied?
@Mr_AshishM@scooby_dooby07 First Mac app. Great dude. Congrats on that
And yes, the process is addictive. I’m
In love with it too.
Slow is fine if you're learning the product from scratch. What's the part you're stuck loving right now?
@preethamrangu@prince_twets@X Finishing sentences in the person's own voice is a hard problem.
Where does HunchKey learn the voice from first ? sent mail, or live typing?
