These can include raising your prices, upselling clients, enforcing payment and invoicing terms, and more. Naturally, you'll seek further guidance on effectively addressing your clients' needs. These templates serve as ongoing support, providing scripts and lessons for managing everything that follows after landing your initial high-paying client. They will empower you to replicate your success and ultimately achieve a sustainable full-time income.

Both!

New freelancers will benefit from "part 1" of the templates that teach how to open up the conversation and secure client work. The rest of the templates focus on every interaction that occurs throughout the client relationship. 

Experienced freelancers will benefit from "part 2" as they learn to better handle certain client situations with way less stress. Part 1 will also allow them to confidently cold pitch new clients, empowering them to be selective in who they work with and never feel stuck working for a bad client again.

All freelancers will walk away feeling that they have a pocket guide that enables them to confidently achieve financial security as a freelancer.
