Making A Good Impression as a

Freelancer

Freelancing can be tough work if you don’t know how to interact with current and potential clients. Here are a few tips to make a great impression:

1. Create a Thoughtful Plan• Prepare a wireframe of storyboard before your

meeting

• Visuals are a great way to get conversation flowing

• Show your client that you’ve already started the longterm planning process

2. Research• Understand the

client, their business, and their competition

• Know industry standards

• Be aware of any potential issues

3. Say Yes & Be Honest• Agree to work, but make sure the client

knows what your skill set is

• Don’t be afraid to pass a project on to a more experienced colleague; it’ll strengthen your relationship with the client in the long run

4. Show Thanks• Send a handwritten

card, a small token of gratitude, or even a heartfelt email to leave a lasting impression

• You want them to think of you when the next project hits the table
