FREELANCE CLIENT RESEARCH · Workflow idea

Learn about a potential client before deciding whether to make contact.

Review selected freelance listings and appropriate public professional information to understand a potential client’s business context. Keep each detail tied to its source, limit collection to what serves a legitimate business purpose, and verify that a person and company are correctly matched. A freelancer decides whether contact is appropriate and approves any saved contact details and the exact message before outreach.
