Mark and a few others in Austin Church's Freelance Cake community keep running into the same wall: a client asks for a website or a logo, but the deeper conversation reveals they actually need a strategy first. Do you upsell them on the spot and risk scaring them off, or just deliver what they asked for and eat the extra work for free? Preston and Austin break down exactly when to introduce a strategy engagement, how to phrase the offer without sounding like a bait-and-switch, and the four pricing containers — from a quick clarity call to a full strategy sprint — that let you charge for expertise you've been giving away.
