Hi {{first_name}},
Your response makes complete sense, and I want you to know I am not trying to turn you into a salesperson. That is the last thing a talented designer needs.
What I am suggesting is more subtle than traditional BD. It is about using your design expertise as a conversation starter with potential clients who have real projects coming up. The framework I mentioned helps you identify those opportunities and reach out in a way that feels authentic to who you are as a design professional.
Several mid-market firm designers who had the same reaction told me afterward that it actually made them better at their core design work because they developed stronger client empathy through the process.
I do not want to push if this is not the right time. But if you are even slightly curious, I can share a two-page overview that will give you a clear picture of what this looks like in practice. 7-11% reply rate
