Disrespectful Clients

2024-03-2156:31

On today’s show: What should you do when you’re not getting the kind of respect you deserve from your clients? That’s just one of many questions we got today from our guest, Cathal, calling in from Germany. A few times now, Cathal has been hired by a manager only to later have that manager’s team give him pushback once he gets to work. So, we work with him on a few ideas on how to get everyone on board with the outside help of a freelancer or agency. That and lots more questions are just ahead on THIS episode of Freelance to Founder. Here we go. This episode was originally aired on August 31st, 2023. PS: Get featured in an upcoming Q&A!

On today’s show: should you spread yourself across each of your client’s project management tools? Or should you make them join yours?

He’s got a few partnerships in the works, but he’s unsure how to set up the money side. Naturally, we have a few ideas for him to try. Plus, we talk about how much to charge in your particular market and more.  It’s all in this episode of ‘Freelance to Founder.’ Let’s go.

I love your podcast, been a listener since early 2019. You may want to check the edit on this episode, there are parts where audio tracks are taking over each other. It makes it difficult to listen to.

Just listened to my first 3 episodes. Very good content. Music levels too loud and distracting. I look forward to more shows.
