August 14, 2023 Corporate and Freelance Client Red Flags, Green Flags & Beige Flags
If you're not familiar with the trend of red flags, green flags and beige flags, let us explain!
Red flags: These are signs that something is NOT good. They can often signs of toxic or negative behavior and when you see these red flags in a potential client, RUN!
Green flags: These are positive signs you get from a client and traits that keep you working with them and enjoying your relationship with them.
Beige flags: Beige flags are neither good or bad, but are seen as quirky and weird things a client may do. They aren't deal breakers, but they will likely cause you to roll your eyes or cause some annoyances.
In this new episode of the WOTW pod, Peyton and Eileen share red, green and beige flags with clients they've worked with or almost worked with! Listen closely and see if you experience these same traits with your freelance clients, OR if you work a full-time job, your employer.
