Ask How do you approach a potential client who has never hired a freelancer before?

[Brendan]

A lot of first-time clients are not difficult to work with, they just need more hand-holding at the start. They may not know how the process works, what to expect, or how to communicate their needs clearly. That gap can actually work in your favour if you position yourself as someone who guides them through it. Have you worked with clients who had no freelancing experience before, and what approach helped you build their trust early on?
