Comments on: The Worst Designer I Have Ever Met https://desktopmag.com.au/features/the-worst-designer-i-have-ever-met/ The Culture of Design Tue, 11 Oct 2016 21:55:20 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.6 By: Bianca Board https://desktopmag.com.au/features/the-worst-designer-i-have-ever-met/#comment-94796 Bianca Board Thu, 12 Sep 2013 01:15:08 +0000 http://desktopmag.com.au/?p=74142#comment-94796 It IS a great story, and I think it’s one where there is a major lesson to take away form it. We shouldn’t dismiss Zag as being “just a salesman.”

The reality is that you can get as comfortable and as skilled as a designer as you want, but if you can learn some sales techniques and back it up, your on a one way street to becoming a profitable designer.

It’s something we drill into our ProPartners, and we give them a lot of support and guides on how to sell their web design work, because frankly, being a salesman / designer ‘hybrid’ is incredibly important.

Nothing wrong in being a sales person unless you are being dishonest about what you are selling.

Understand what good design is and selling it confidently will come naturally.
