What could possibly go wrong?

A business owner wants a new website - but doesn’t want to pay for it. “Let’s partner,” they say. “You build it, I’ll handle the sales, and we’ll split the profits 50/50.”

Our team at Engage Web took a day out of their busy schedules to shoot a zombie spoof. This was under the very thin guise of promoting our Fresh Start

But don’t fear. Our Fresh Start web design package is so robust, your website would survive even a zombie apocalypse.

To prove it, a few years back we made our own zombie movie – Dawn of the Web – showing exactly how we keep websites alive, no matter what horrors come their way.

Can you recognise the moment when a prospect flips from curious to a serious buyer?

It’s subtle - they start leaning in, asking deeper questions, picturing how it would actually work for them. But too many salespeople mistake this for objections and can even get defensive.
