Overheard a client at a coffee shop say they'd never pay more than $50 for a logo

I mean, they were talking about how 'anyone with a computer can do it.' It made me realize I need to get way better at explaining the actual work behind my design process. How do you guys handle clients who don't see the value in skilled work?

Honestly that used to happen to me all the time. Started making a simple one-page PDF that shows my steps, like the research, sketches, and revisions. When someone says it's just pushing buttons, I explain how a good logo needs to work everywhere from a website to a tiny app icon. It turns the talk from price into what they're actually buying.

My buddy's client thought the same until he saw the sketches.
