How to Ensure Right-Fit Clients for your Freelance Business (and Avoid the Bad Ones)

from Creatives In The Wild

Not all clients are created equal. When I was a new freelancer, I didn't know any better when it came to selecting work that was a great partnership and would often settle for a paycheck or what "potential" I thought working with a client could give me. In one particularly difficult case, my client would call me every day to check in even though I had other client work to do and you know- I had a life! So, let's talk about how to navigate client selection so you end up with a roster of clients you're genuinely excited about. Listen to hear about filtering potential clients through discovery processes, establishing clear expectations with new clients, and professionally declining or managing poor-fit clients.   Struggling with tough clients right now? Check out the "Managing Tough Clients" Workshop recording! Ever had a client who pushes your boundaries? Maybe they ask for discounts, try to change your scope, or never respond? This workshop dives into how to both prevent and handle client relationship issues. Learn how to take leadership in your client partnerships.     Connect with Justine: Website: https://www.justawildthought.com  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/justawildthought    Was this episode helpful?
