158 The Portfolio Mistake That’s Costing You High-Paying Clients


Listen Later

Your portfolio might be the reason clients keep ghosting you or pushing back on your prices. Not because your design work is not good enough, but because your portfolio is sending the wrong message.

Most designers fill their portfolios with visuals like logos and mockups and forget that high-paying clients are not looking for pretty work. They are looking for proof that you understand business and strategy.

I am breaking down the portfolio mistakes that keep you stuck with low-budget clients and showing you exactly how to fix them.

You will learn:

  • The mistake that makes your portfolio attract low-paying clients
  • How to present your work so clients see your value
  • What high-ticket clients actually look for when hiring a designer
  • How to shift your portfolio from a gallery to a sales tool


Grab a cup of coffee, your notes, and get ready!
