"We run without a contract" (said no professional freelancer ever)
Hello!
You would never travel to a new address without GPS, would you?
Yet a surprising number of people start an assignment without a quote or contract.
It works... until it doesn't.
đŹ Suddenly you are asked to "just fix a little more".
đŹ The delivery is questioned.
đŹ Payment is delayed.
You can avoid stress, arguments and misunderstandings with two simple steps:
1. always start with a quote
A clear quote shows what is included, when it should be ready and what it costs.
It makes it easier for the customer to say yes. And you come across as a professional from the first second.

2. Always write an assignment agreement
The agreement is the game plan.
It tells you what applies, who is responsible for what and how you handle changes.
It's reassurance, clarity and an easy way to avoid misunderstandings.

Make it routine
A quote and a contract are not 'extra work'.
It is your safety and your professional image.
And the best part? The customer respects you more when you push it.
So: next time you get an assignment, don't just think "great, let's get started now".
Think: "quote + contract first, then we go!"
Freelancing smart and safe.
