The mistake that almost cost me a $1,500 job #smallbusinesstips

???? The mistake that almost cost me a $1,500 job.

I had the discovery call. The client loved my work. Everything seemed perfect…

Then I sent the quote—no contract, no onboarding packet, just a casual email.

Days passed. No reply.
When I finally followed up, she said:

“I just wasn’t sure if you were ready to work at a higher level. I need someone more structured.”

Ouch.

That one sentence flipped everything for me.
I built a streamlined process—quote, contract, onboarding, welcome guide.

And my next client? Booked on the spot.

Have you ever lost a client because of your process?
