Had a client tear up my contract at a coffee shop last Wednesday

I was at this little spot in Richmond showing my portfolio to a potential client and they literally ripped the estimate page out of my binder. Said they could get the same work done for $200 less on Fiverr. That moment I realized I needed to stop leading with pretty pictures and start leading with case studies and results. Has anyone else had to completely rework their portfolio after getting burned like that?

Take that binder and swap out half the pretty work for a comparison page showing results. Before and after numbers speak louder than any design. Clients respect value, not just visuals.

Silver lining - now you know what your real competition looks like.
