If you are a professional in Marketing, Communications, PR, Graphic Design or a related field, join us at our monthly networking meeting. Each month this active and energetic subgroup of The Enterprising Moms meets to discuss issues specific to the marketing and communications field. We also discuss ways to increase new business, trade resources, address challenges faced by start-ups and mature ventures alike, work towards work/life integration, share client leads and more. We’d love to have you.
This Month’s Discussion Topics:
- Clients
How much is appropriate to check in with prospective clients about potential work they offered you? When are you being responsive and proactive vs. being a pest? Do you refer clients if you can’t handle the project? - Contracts
How do you handle contracts? Do people have lawyers? Templates? How do they know if contracts are legally sound? How do you afford a lawyer? How do you handle different rates with clients, or do you have 1 set rate? What are your payment terms? Do you enforce them? - Collecting
Has anyone used Paypal to collect fees? Is there any way of enforcing a late charge if clients are late paying? How? What other collection methods do you use? What types of payment to you accept? Do you love your Merchant Services Provider? What do you do when a client just disappears–doesn’t return calls or cancels meetings? If there’s no money owed, do you try to end it formally or just let it go?
No cost to attend, but registration is required: Details at The Enterprising Moms.
