Default Re: Getting Clients to Sign Contracts
Erica~

Remember that you are a business owner now, not an employee. You don't ask them, you tell them that this is part of your client intake process. Once I have had a couple of thorough conversations with a potential client and we have both decided to move forward, I email them my packet and advise them that work will not begin until all documents are completed and returned and their retainer payment is received. Creating strong standards for yourself and your business will help ensure that you enjoy what you do.

Warmly,

Lorri
