00:03:56 Tracy Trathen • e design studio, LLC: Prefacing the “I’m here win” with what happened this week – Had a bit of a rough week: Mom (she’s 84) had to go to ER (she’s okay) other family issues (brother also in ER not sure if he’s okay) – I’m just glad I’m here because I wasn’t sure if I was going to make it. But I’m here!

00:06:22 Pauline Wiles: Replying to “Win – I'm doing a pa…”

Oh, pressure now!
00:06:23 Laura Nurse: Win? – Held a boundary with my client. She emailed me 2 days after we wrapped her project and wanting a redesign of the website. Not clear if she wanted edited sections or a complete redesign… she was all over the map in her email. Said I’d be happy to do it but that revision period is over with launch and file hand off, so additional work will be at 150 per hour. She hasn’t responded in 6 days. Thoughts?
00:06:23 Tracy Trathen • e design studio, LLC: Replying to “Win – I'm doing a pa…”

I want to listen to the episode when it airs!
00:06:30 Angelica Hidalgo: Replying to “Prefacing the “I’m h…”

If I didn’t have my business, I’d be working for someone else, and wouldn’t have been her when Mom had to go to ER

(I’ve already got yours @Laura Nurse !)
00:10:31 Tracy Trathen • e design studio, LLC: And their support is super responsive too!
00:11:12 Laura Nurse: Reacted to “For questions today:…” with 👍🏻
00:13:16 Pauline Wiles: I feel a bit the same about online coffee chats, great question ….
00:13:35 Laura Nurse: I started playing around with Moxie last week, and I can really see the potential. I’m just procrastinating on setting up my systems inside… lol.
00:15:04 Michelle Merrill: GIVE THEM YOUR PROCESSES AND ASK THEM TO BUILD OUT AUTOMATED WORKFLOW TEMPLATES WE CAN USE!! 😉

00:19:22 Tracy Trathen • e design studio, LLC: I send a link to schedule a coffee chat if they say “let’s stay in touch”.

00:23:17 Erica Nash: “Hey Jen, it was so nice to meet you the other day. I would love to meet for [virtual or not] coffee sometime. Would you be up for that?” <—- you’re giving her the option to meet and get to know each other further.

00:25:26 Laura Nurse: Replying to “GIVE THEM YOUR PROCE…”

Is there a dedicated channel/way to request this from them? Or are you just suggesting I be like HEY! Moxie people! Set me up Yo! lol
00:28:44 Kim Blake: Reacted to “I send a link to sch…” with 👍
00:32:46 Pauline Wiles: I had 2 clients switch email list providers and didn't think to tell me (so nobody changed the email signup form on their website). I feel like there's no limit to the “please don't do this” conversations I would potentially need at handover!
00:33:23 Laura Nurse: I don’t give my clients admin access to their sites until they are asking how to do something that needs it. When we launch, I tell them they have a sandbox to play in on the site (editor access) then if/when they need it, I can take down the guard rails. When they do ask, THEN I give them the rundown on plugins etc. So far, it works. Most of my clients barely log in to the back end.

00:41:43 Michelle Merrill: There really was good guidance in what you said to her. Nice job. ❤️
00:48:33 Pauline Wiles: I'm trying to be a little more careful with wording when I write to clients, instead of saying “if you want x” I've started saying “if you want to hire me for x…” . It's good practice for me because I'm consistently tempted to do small bits for free.
