ask if you could develop samples that would satisfy their needs

Be careful with this. When I was younger and stoopider, an enterprising
business owner got a beautiful last-minute white paper complete with
Powerpoint presentation and handouts from me as a "show me what you can do"
sample. And because it was just a "sample", he never sent a thank you, much
less a check for several days of work.

Having a library of "I did this" samples gives me a great excuse to
gracefully decline invitations to spend more than an hour showing what I can
do.
