CHEAT SHEET

FREELANCING
REMEMBER TO BE FRIENDLY, PROFESSIONAL, AND RESPECTFUL
THROUGHOUT THE PROCESS. BUILDING A PERSONAL CONNECTION
WITH THE CLIENT CAN ALSO HELP YOU STAND OUT FROM OTHER
FREELANCERS AND INCREASE YOUR CHANCES OF GETTING THE JOB.

UNDERSTAND THEM
RESEARCH THE CLIENT AND
THEIR INDUSTRY BEFORE
MEETING WITH THEM.
PREPARE A LIST OF
QUESTIONS TO ASK ABOUT
THEIR BUSINESS, GOALS,
AND CHALLENGES. BRING
SAMPLES OF YOUR WORK
OR A PORTFOLIO TO
SHOWCASE YOUR SKILLS
AND EXPERIENCE.
ADDRESS CONCERNS
BE PREPARED TO ADDRESS
ANY CONCERNS THE
CLIENT MAY HAVE. THIS
COULD INCLUDE BUDGET,
TIMELINE, OR SPECIFIC
PROJECT REQUIREMENTS.
OFFER SOLUTIONS TO
THESE CONCERNS, SUCH AS
PROPOSING A PAYMENT
PLAN OR ADJUSTING THE
PROJECT SCOPE TO FIT
WITHIN THEIR BUDGET AND
TIMELINE.
SHOW YOUR EXPERTISE
HIGHLIGHT YOUR
RELEVANT SKILLS AND
EXPERIENCE THAT MAKE
YOU A GOOD FIT FOR THE
JOB. SHARE SOME OF YOUR
PAST WORK SAMPLES THAT
DEMONSTRATE YOUR
ABILITIES. IF YOU DON'T
HAVE ANY EXPERIENCE,
EMPHASIZE YOUR
EAGERNESS TO LEARN AND
YOUR ABILITY TO ADAPT
QUICKLY.
FOLLOW UP
SEND A FRIENDLY
MESSAGE OR EMAIL AFTER
YOUR FIRST
CONVERSATION TO
EXPRESS YOUR CONTINUED
INTEREST IN THE JOB. THIS
SHOWS THAT YOU'RE
ORGANIZED AND
COMMITTED TO HELPING
THEM WITH THEIR
PROJECT.
