What is The Happy Freelancer Model?

The Happy Freelancer Model is a tried and tested approach to getting your freelance business unstuck and to start growing. This model allows you to take your freelancing to the next level without buying email lists, SEO, dozens of paid ads, or feeling like an impostor.

You’re going to learn how to get clients in a unique, stress-free, and enjoyable way without traditional cold outreach that no one reads, or responds to.

You will be able to attract and upsell clients with bigger budgets over and over again. Doesn’t it sound good?

Here’s what you’re getting with The Happy Freelancer Model

✅ Your Niche Value Proposition framework 

Develop a simple and clear value proposition to use across your channels and make it really easy for clients to understand what you do and for whom.

✅ Plug & Play Freelance Sales Process framework

Get our ENTIRE sales process framework, which we use to sign high-paying clients. All you have to do is fill in the blanks.

✅ Sell By Chat Method & Scripts

Steal our exact formula that we use to transform conversations into conversions and always be in control of the sale.

✅ Value-Based Pricing Kit

Inside this kit, you'll learn why you should become a Brief Maker vs. A Brief Taker and be a negotiation master who prices the client, not the job. You'll never undersell your services again.

✅ A clear and organized sales process

You will have a plan to follow with clear checklists and things to do. Even if you are not an expert in lead generation and sales, you will be able to implement this system that will get you more of the right clients. 

✅ Materials that are easy to go through

You decide how fast or slowly you learn and implement our process. The material is split into chapters you can work on every day or every week, depending on how much time you have available.

You're getting access to the process we've been using to get high-value clients. The process, the scripts, and the templates are all there. The ebook will be updated periodically based on new findings and tactics, so be sure to check back in or keep an eye on your email.
