Contracts for service agreements. Should you have them? Are they worth the hassle?
In my opinion, no. Personally, I (Suzanne) discovered when I did use them that few of my clients signed them anyway. Kacey, coming from the freelance world, has had mixed experiences with them as well. In this episode, she and I discuss our opinions about signing contracts with clients. We talk about how they can potentially lock you continuing in a direction (with a client) you’re no longer aligned with, why you should be choosy, how they won’t fix the root of distrust, and much more.
