| Cold Calling on Potential Design Clients
There are many different ways to find clients. Perhaps one of the most dreaded is cold calling. Even if the potential client has been warmed up a bit because you were referred by someone they know, if it's your first contact then it's very much like a cold call. One of the keys to successful cold calls is preparation. You need to know why you're calling, who you're calling, and what you're going to say. Learn how to use cold calling as a freelance designer.
| Do You Use Xara Software?
As I mentioned in a recent newsletter, I've been getting quite a few nominations for Xara Designer Pro and Xara Photo & Graphic Designer in this year's About.com Readers' Choice Awards. Since we seem to have so many Xara users out there, I think we need to hear more from you about why you use Xara software and how it stacks up against other desktop publishing software. Share your opinion of Xara software.
