And we are BACK with a good ole’ stories episode… arguably our most audacious one ever, so get ready!
College cocktail month is still going strong, so we’re sipping on the lovely Adios, Mother****** that we’ve aptly renamed A Magical Freelancer, and kick off telling you guys about the ~audacity~ of a company who wanted to buy our images for $15 each. Love it.
But, we digress — because the stories we have this week are INSANE. First, we hear from a listener whose client simply could NOTTTT understand why her prices had raised from pre-pandemic times — and who decided that she didn’t agree with renewal of licensing and usage, either. #nothx. Then we hear about a listener who got on a call with a potential client, only to LITERALLY hear the phrase “oh NO, we don’t work with budgets, it’s more about VALUE for us…” when she was explaining her budget.
Spoiler alert… this means they didn’t want to pay. 😅
Then we have a commercial photographer from the food space talk about a vvvv passive-aggressive email from a potential client asking if the photos in her proposal were… HER PHOTOS (well yes, duh!), and shows us the email exchange. And then, to wrap up the most audacious stories episode yet, we have a really fun (AKA, triggering) story about an incredibly picky client who did not give AF about her having COVID or her instilling any kind of client boundaries.
Oof.
It’s a lot, huh?!
Tune in to hear the tea. 🤟
