Each of us wants to work, not just work, and with maximum efficiency. But in the risk of delay in Freelancer ineffective order is very large, and therefore it is important to deny the ability for customers with whom it makes no sense to work.
Certainly, when a novice pro gets his first orders, comes enthusiasm and desire to work and earn more and more. But along with this must also learn to “filter” profitable orders from unfavorable – that is, those run-time cost which is cheaper for some kind of acceptable Freelancer prices. Otherwise the work will very often ineffective, except that financial dissatisfaction, dissatisfaction with the profession in general will.
All this, in turn, implies the need to deny those whose order to perform pointless. This can include both time and labor-intensive component.
But it is obvious that the customer may have several types of work, and some may occur and your interest as an artist. Because “shoot from the hip” here is not worth it. In addition – courtesy and politeness is almost always pay off, and these qualities are in negotiations with customers is extremely important.
How right to refuse those who would like to order your work?
It is appropriate to remember above all that refuse of your order – does not mean to abandon contact with the customer at all. The principle “do not spit into the well” in this case work, and very clearly. Consider a few methods out to be as objective, and so correct, and not “lapel” of the customer from further contact.
Three ways to refuse the order:
1. Link to your own lack of competence to fulfill the order. We are all human, and no one can know everything about everything, so honest statement that “I am not competent in something and that’s to take on this,” make a good impression.
2. Link to the workload of other orders. In addition to creating the impression “demand” Freelancer, this method is good because it does not bear a direct refusal, and consequently, the possibility of further working relationships.
3. Link to the employment of the subcontractor. That is, if you’re a designer, you can refer to the employment (or a vacation absence) of a programmer, you are working in a team. “Even if it is not so, the impression that you’re not alone, will work for you, and also does not exclude the possibility of contacts in the future.
All this again shows that the lance is the work of diverse going beyond merely carrying out specific tasks and having a sufficiently broad “a management” component. And it is very important to understand to work effectively.
