New freelancers and agency owners, avoid this common trap! ?? What we see: Freelancers and agency owners making big money, working minimal hours, and “living the dream.” What we don’t see: > Consistent hustle behind the scenes > Building true client trust and delivering real results > Years of experience > Growing their brand through genuine value (not just flashy wins) Real success? It’s all about putting in the work, day after day. Remember: Comparison is easy—putting in the effort isn’t. (P.S Iman Gadhzi in the picture means something special ??, Check the pin comment)

When the Big Brands Delay Payments: A Freelancer & Agency Dilemma ??? We've all been there—exciting new project, big-name client, clear terms, and deliverables. Everything seems to be on track, and you work tirelessly to achieve the goals. But once those goals are met, the waiting game begins. Weeks turn into months, and despite the agreements, payments are delayed. And when the client is a well-known brand, the stakes feel even higher. Do you push back and risk damaging the relationship? Or do you stay silent, hoping it resolves itself? As an agency owner, I’ve faced this dilemma more times than I care to admit. It’s a tricky balance—protecting your team’s hard work and maintaining the reputation of a brand that holds weight in the market. But here’s the thing: Delayed payments don’t just impact cash flow; they affect morale, trust, and the willingness to go the extra mile next time. So, how do you handle it? Do you confront the situation head-on, or find a middle ground that keeps the peace? Let’s open up about this challenge that so many of us face but rarely discuss. #AgencyLife #FreelancerJourney #ClientRelationships #BusinessEthics #PaymentChallenges

?? Common Pitfalls Freelancers & New Agencies MUST Avoid! ?? Are you a freelancer or starting an agency? Chances are, you're falling into these traps that hold back success. After working with countless professionals, I’ve seen these mistakes repeated over and over. Let’s fix them NOW: 1?? Chasing Every Lead Not every lead is worth your time! Focus on qualified prospects—those who need what you offer and have the budget to pay. Stop wasting time on dead-end leads. 2?? Not Asking Enough Questions Don’t jump straight into your pitch. Ask questions to understand your client’s pain points, goals, and needs. This helps you offer real solutions and build trust. 3?? Underpricing to Get the Job Competing on price alone devalues your services. You’re not just selling time; you’re offering expertise and results. Know your worth! 4?? Skipping the Sales Process Don’t rush to close deals without building relationships. Move prospects through stages—lead → prospect → client. Nurture your leads and qualify them before pushing for a sale. 5?? Ignoring Client Follow-Up Many deals are lost because freelancers forget to follow up. Staying in touch shows commitment and can be the difference between losing and winning a client. 6?? Lack of Clear Communication Freelancers often fail to set expectations, timelines, or deliverables upfront. This leads to misunderstandings and unhappy clients. Be clear, consistent, and professional from day one. ?? If you're making any of these mistakes, it's time to course-correct! Focus on quality, strategy, and building strong relationships with the right clients. Let’s elevate your business! ???? #FreelancingTips #AgencyGrowth #SalesStrategy #BusinessSuccess

How should you charge? The best pricing model is the one that makes sense for your customers and hits these elements: - Value based - Simple - Flexible - Predictable - Scalable Even though it is the industry norm, our community told us they dislike per-user pricing. They felt it penalized them for better collaboration. Needing more user seats didn't necessarily mean their clients were paying them more. That's why we decided to include unlimited users in all our plans —and only price based on the number of calendars our customers need. How do you determine your pricing model? -- If you just started an agency/ freelance business, check out how other agencies price their services (Link in comments)

One of the basic principles of putting together an Agency budget is to ask yourself why & how is this thing (could be new business, could be freelance usage, could be client churn) going to get better next year? Most things revert to the mean unless you change what/how you do things. #agency #budget
