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 if your rates are negotiable
The client is probing for flexibility before the real work discussion has even started. You need to answer clearly without sounding rigid or weak.
Client goes quiet after a discovery call
You had a strong intro call and clear interest, but after the call the client stopped responding to next-step messages.
Client asks for unlimited revisions
The client is pushing on revision policy before work starts or while terms are being clarified. You need a clear boundary that still feels cooperative.
