The Discovery Call

The Writers’ Co-op

Wudan's love for discovery calls probably surprises very few of you: She loves connecting with others and enjoy learning about how she can bring her skills to help a new client. She gets really excited about these calls because they smell like possibilities. Lately, we've been getting a ton of questions about LOIs, discovery calls, and landing new clients. So today we're talking about how to nail the discovery call. We run through how to weed clients out so you’re not wasting your precious, unpaid time to take these calls, plus how to best prepare for them – yes, they really are like mini freelance job interviews – and beyond.

Have you had a wildly successful discovery call? All-access members are already continuing the conversation in our Slack, which you can join at any time via patreon.com/twcpod.
