Hey there,
I've been browsing trough the older threads and found a lot of stuff regarding "how to get clients". There is great advice like "using good old paper cards and mailing", "ask your current clients for referrals", etc!
Currently I have no trouble getting new clients myself - but I am courious to hear what others find challenging in the process if you are looking for new clients on your own / or if you're approached by a potential client the first time.
What's your #1 challenge?
Looking forward do hear your personal thoughts and experiences!
Regards
Patric
-- Why am I asking this?
I recently talked about the topic with a few of my freelance "colleagues" from my network and we were curious what other freelancers do in this cases. So I decided to do an informal survey on the topic. I will be posting the summarized answers if there is interest for it.

- For me it's "probing if the project is a real match" in terms of required skills, budget, timeframe, remote, etc. Often its time consuming to filter and reject the bad ones.
