‼️ freelance social media managers:

how are you guys getting retainer clients? i’ve tried local cold email outreach, facebook groups, and instagram dms but only getting so far with each one.

I think my pitches are good, I actually have a pretty decent response rate. I guess I’m just having trouble finding business owners who see the value in strategic social content?

It's not easy. Can any of the clients you've succeeded for suggest someone they know?

Mine have all come through people I worked with. It doesn’t hurt that my husband is a CEO for a large company, so I get referrals through him as well.

Hello All - I struggle with time management. I take medication but I have no idea whether a task will take 40 mins or 4 hours. Because of this, I over commit and under deliver. Also, having been on the receiving end of criticism, over time I have developed a perfectionist streak. I won't turn it in if it is good enough. How do you break out of this habit?

Any resources to help the brain structure tasks and make better estimates? Much appreciated, thanks!

Looking for a referral to any company willing to work with a transitioning veteran (that doesn’t expect me to work entry level).

I’ve done PI work my entire career for over 10 years. I’ve worked in state and federal courts and I’ve traveled around the country doing MDL work and bellwether trials. I’ve had a lot of success making the idiots I’ve worked for wealthy, but I’m still waiting for a moment where I enjoy what I’m doing. I feel stuck working in dysfunctional plaintiff firms/cultures. I hate this profession/career more and more each year. Has anybody been successful breaking off on their own in recent years? Advice?
