Better Clients Through Filtering

How the discriminating freelancer can filter out problem clients before the contract is signed.

Do you accept every client and project that comes your way? Have you ever worked with a client where things began well but soon went sideways? Every freelancer who’s been in it for a few years has at least one story to tell. If you’d prefer not having stories to tell, start filtering out less desirable projects and clients so you can say yes to your best kinds of clients. In this episode I share my filters and non-negotiables for qualifying prospective clients, along with a few true stories. It’s okay to say “no”.
