Happy to give pricing context. Before I lock in a number, I'd want to confirm the scope, timeline, and what success looks like so the quote is actually useful.

Client asks for a rough price range
The client is not asking for an exact quote yet. They want a quick range, and you need to answer without pretending the project has already been scoped.
Client asks for a timeline before sharing what you need
The client wants a delivery estimate but has not sent the assets, content, access, or dependencies required to judge timing.
Client asks for an immediate quote
The client wants a number immediately, but you do not yet understand the project well enough to quote cleanly. You need to slow the decision without sounding evasive.
Client went silent after the discovery call
The discovery call went well enough to keep the opportunity alive, but the client disappeared right after. You need a follow-up that feels useful, not needy.
Client asks for exclusivity but offers a low rate
The client wants a stronger commitment from you than the price supports. The real negotiation is about the value of exclusivity, not just the headline rate.
