In this Braintrust Community Roundtable, Christopher Pruijsen will be leading the discussion on building a steady freelance pipeline.
What we'll discuss:
- How to think of pipeline and what are the essential components to consider when one is building their pipeline
- Diversification when seeking opportunities, how to find the right platforms, agencies or agents and how this changes over time
- When on these platforms, how do you land projects and do so consistently
- How to get referrals: who, how, and when to ask for referrals
- The 80/20 rule of impact, and how this plays into the above
