Create your own examples of line sheets that you would give to buyers and reps. Think with the end in mind. What would your line sheet look like for a small capsule set of 5 designs? How would you display all the necessary information and make it creative and enticing to the buyers?
Find a local designer, call and ask if you could come in and meet them. (Be sure to do a little research on them). Tel them you are a student with a research project and you would love if they had 15/20 minutes to spend with you. Bring your lingo sheet and ask their thoughts on the items and if they can show you any of the other the items on the list and how they use them. This can help open communication and who knows you might get a mentor out it!

Freelancer to Agency Founder: The Truth About the Agency Business (Skillshare)

When you first start selling your services, it’s common to hear yourself saying “I can do that!” to anyone with a dollar in their hands. Anything to bring revenue in the door. You position yourself as the solution, even if you've never provided that particular service before. It's easier to get sales when you can provide all things to everyone. Deals that bring in a modest little side-income. Momentum so you can finally quit your day job, and pursue providing services full time.
