A year ago a client agreed to pay me $630
We discussed the project We negotiated the amount He confirmed the payment method And then silence for a year
The conversation started with opportunity where the client said he might become director of a fund and had people reaching out wanting to buy courses.
What he exactly said “I’ve had so many people reach out wanting to buy courses. I just don’t have enough time.”
I helped with strategy, structure and ideas for turning that demand into a course.
- Landing page ideas
- Course structure
- Marketing approach
We agreed on compensation.
He said : "Send me a link and I will pay".
I sent the Invoice, then the replies slowed down
Then it stopped, after a year I got this message
“ Leave me Alone “
At first I kept following up politely and professionally because as freelancers we’re are persistent But I feel persistence without systems is a trap, the real mistake was I relied on his goodwill instead of structure.
Anyways I did not loose money but that $630 became might be the most valuable lesson Let me know what you think guys ?
