I get this question a lot: “Can you just send a quote?”
Short answer? Not until we talk.
It’s not because I want to waste your time or upsell you. It’s because skipping the Discovery Call often leads to one of three things:
- A misaligned scope
- A bloated estimate
- A rushed build that doesn’t actually solve your problem
Here’s why I treat the Discovery Call as a non-negotiable first step.
1. Context Changes Everything
You might think you need a full website, but after a quick call, we realize all you need is a landing page and a better offer. Or maybe you ask for a rebrand, but what you really need is messaging clarity. Without context, I’m just guessing and guessing isn’t how I run my business.
2. Quotes Without Discovery Are Inflated or Inaccurate
Most people overestimate what they need or underestimate the effort involved. When I send a quote without a call, I have to build in a safety buffer. That means you might pay more for work you don’t even need or worse, get an estimate that’s too low and doesn’t reflect the real effort required.
3. It’s About Fit, Not Just Features
You’re not hiring a task-doer. You’re hiring a partner. The Discovery Call isn’t just for me to learn about your project it’s for you to decide if I’m the right fit. My best work happens when there’s mutual trust, shared values, and clear communication. That starts with a real conversation.
4. You Get Value Even If You Don’t Book
I treat Discovery Calls like mini-strategy sessions. You’ll walk away with:
- Clarity on what you actually need
- A better understanding of scope and cost
- Insights into how I would approach your project
Even if we don’t work together, you’ll have sharper direction for whoever you choose.
5. It’s the First Step in Building Right, Not Fast
I care about building the right thing—not just shipping something quickly. Discovery helps us align on goals, define success, and start with intention. It’s how we avoid costly rework and missed expectations down the line.
If you’re serious about working together, let’s talk first. It’s free. It’s 20 minutes. And it’ll save us both time, money, and second-guessing. Book a Discovery Call and let’s figure out what you really need.
