Would love to see some newsletters touching upon deal structuring and the basics we need in terms of paperwork to close deals and look like bonafide pros in our prospects eyes.
For example:
Do we need contracts?
How can we handle paperwork with international clients, taxes, cross-border contracts, etc.
(I lost a huge prospect because I'm from Mexico and the were from Canada... Their legal department told them to avoid hiring me as a contractor after finding out I was from Tijuana, Baja California, Mexico and not from California USA.)
That's why I'm asking. Any advice on closing cross-border deals?
Do I need an US registered LLC?
What do I actually need to close deals and get paid?
Can I just send over a PayPal invoice and get paid or would that turn good clients off because it looks like a scammy fly by night operation?
How do YOU personally do it?
Also...
I'm thinking in reaching out to Marketing Agencies, as I've worked for a few in the past. But I charged by piece. (e.g., $50 per email)
But left those gifs because I would regularly make much less money overall, because of constant changes requested by nitpicky agency staff members or the clients themselves.
How can I avoid this and how can I structure deals without shooting myself in the foot?
I was thinking of offering a fixed monthly retainer for a certaint amount of client accounts per month and asking them to let me use AI for edits and ideation.
But I would love to hear your opinion on it first.
Oh, one last thing...
I'm a from Mexico (I know you said it does not matter, but I still want to ask).
Will that make it harder for me to break into Finpub world?
Good stuff, William!
