Why do clients always tend to disappear after asking what your rates are?

[Btaliat]

There are many reasons that can make freelancers decide not to continue negotiating with you when you tell them your rate. The first thing is that you need to make sure that there are some clients that will not like you mentioning high rate for them. They get angry and decide not to continue the negotiations. Others may not afford the money that you called and they don't want to continue the conversation because they can't afford you.
