Have you ever wondered how much is too much when reaching out to brands? You want to be a proactive freelancer and let it be known that you’re available for projects, but the clients keep giving you the old “not now, maybe later” and you don’t want to be overbearing…What do you do?
This episode of the Successful Fashion Freelancer podcast is a clip from a Strategy Session I have with FAST: Freelance Accelerator student Renée, and we work on verbiage and strategies for keeping in touch with brands in a sustainable way, while not turning them off from over-outreach.
In the interview (which you’ll love), we will cover:
- Strategies for “sustainable” pitching
- What to do when brands keep saying “not now, maybe later”
- Ways to pitch without being overbearing
- And more!
