What’s the key to consistent freelance work?
Be it a retainer. Or consistent projects through the same couple of clients. Hint…it’s not marketing. Or a personal brand. It’s making your client’s a rock-star.
For Frederik Daneels, this meant making a client learn how important an existing employee was.
Which is just one example of the rockstar equation Frederik taught us to build trust, grow relationships, and become the go-to for his clients.
Here are some golden nuggets:
1: “They pay for the relationship”
2: “You have an amazing company and I would love to work here”
3: “How do I built trust with my clients…step 1: ask what’s their goal, step 2: expand the scope of my offering, step 3: communicate effectively”.
Enjoy!!!
