Do you use the hold booking system? It can be tricky when managing multiple unconfirmed projects as a freelancer. Whether you choose to use this system or not, the most important thing is having a booking process in place for your business.

3 productivity tools I use every day: 👉 Templates in Gmail 👉 Calendly (alternatively, you can use Google Calendar.) 👉 Publer and Taplio to schedule social media posts Do you use any of these? Comment any recommendations you have! #freelance #productivity #freelancetools

Add these check-in reminders to your CRM to warm up new leads: 👉 Engage with them on socials x 3 👉 Drop them a personalised message or email x 1 👉 Follow up with them 3 weeks later 👉 Remind yourself to regularly add more potential clients to the list

This is how to get sh*t done! Schedule the time and put it in your calendar. Then, hold yourself accountable when it comes to actually doing it. So many freelancers struggle with getting business tasks done. And it’s all to do with accountability.

This is a lesson I had to learn myself... 2 years ago, I made a video about my very first showreel and say it was very, very bad! I try to look at my old work to see how far I've come. You can even do this with social media posts, showreels, and projects. Give it a try!

Looking for clients? Here's what I'd do... 1. Add past clients to my CRM 2. Ask those clients for a referral 3. Start warming up new clients on social media and add them to your CRM
