    Do your clients fall off their chairs? How to talk about money so you get the fees you deserve with Ilise Benun of Marketing Mentor and special guests. Conversations about pricing are far more comfortable when you know your client can afford you. But most creative freelancers avoid the topic of money or rush through it or allow their clients to haggle them down until they resent the work they get. If you want your freelance business to be successful, you must learn how to talk confidently about money with your prospects. Join us for this interviewed, tailored especially for freelancers, and learn how to identify the right clients (who won’t fall off their chairs), communicate the real value of your work, practically eliminate the time-wasting proposal process and get your clients to reveal their budgets to you. Join us LIVE and ask questions to Freelance experts by phone or by the Live chat room. We will will also be discussing the upcoming Creative Freelancer Conference 2009 in San Diego.
