ABOUT THIS EPISODE
In this episode, I’m chatting with the effervescent, Jodie Riccelli.
Jodie is the business development manager of WebDevStudios a US-based WordPress development agency who specialise in enterprise-level projects.
This conversation was fascinating for me as it gives an insight into the big-budget, big-brand world that can seem a bit mysterious and intimidating from the outside.
Jodie has some great advice and insights into client management, the sales process, and, of course, pricing. I really appreciated her honesty and openness in discussing what some people might think of as the ‘secret sauce’. It’s also good to know that no-one has this all figured out!
