FFN 3: Ever Been Ghosted by a Client?

Ever been ghosted?

You know, when you meet a potential client. You click. You’re excited. They’re excited. But then - nothing! No responses, no movement, and no new client. If you’ve been ghosted by a client, this newsletter - and HoneyBook - is for you.

Don’t let anyone make you feel bad for charging for work that brings you joy. You can love doing something and profit from it.

-Natalie Franke

💪 Make a Strong Impression

We’ve all heard the phrase, “you never get a second chance to make a first impression.” It’s true—especially for anyone with clients. In fact, a whopping 86% of prospective clients hire whoever gets back to them the first. That’s why it’s critical for your clientflow to include a quick and easy way to respond to leads with a brochure, proposal, or pricing guide that seals the deal.

🤑  Let’s Talk Money

Talking about money can be awkwarddddd. So if you want to show instead of tell, pricing guides are your friend. They’re the easiest way for potential clients to assess if you’re in-budget. They help showcase your range of expertise or offerings. And they get clients to book faster by answering some of the most common questions that are sure to come up.

🔋 Power Your Process

Thinking about your process as a clientflow can be quite enlightening. The term itself combines the two sides of the independent business coin (so to speak)— your “workflow” and “client experience.” Through this lens, you can start to build a process that works for you and makes your odds of running a successful business much higher than any given coin toss.
