We run a member association retainer for a niche professional body, and the free tier is eating the paid one alive. Free events fill, the paid workshop barely scrapes a room. I've stopped asking wh…
I run sponsorship and ad ops for a handful of small brands, and I've built my whole pipeline on referrals so far. That's run out. I've tried cold email — got replies, no closes — and posting on Lin…
I coach nutrition one-to-one, mostly on retainer. Two clients renewed this month without blinking. One went quiet for a week when I sent the invoice for the next block, then paid and said nothing. …
