As freelancers, we all know that working with clients can sometimes lead to challenging situations and conflicts. Whether it's a misunderstanding about expectations, miscommunication, or simply different working styles, dealing with demanding clients can be a significant stressor for freelancers. So, how can we effectively manage these situations and resolve conflicts professionally and positively? Here are some tips and best practices to consider: Maintain open communication: One of the key factors in avoiding and resolving conflicts is maintaining open and positive communication with clients. Establish clear communication channels and regularly check in with clients to ensure everyone is on the same page. Listen actively: When conflicts arise, it's important to listen to the client's perspective and understand their point of view. By showing empathy and seeking to understand the client's needs and concerns, you may be able to find a mutually acceptable solution. Be clear and concise: Conflicts often arise from miscommunication and misunderstandings, so it's important to be clear and concise in your communication with clients. Make sure to clarify expectations and ask for clarification when necessary. Seek mediation or outside help: In some cases, conflicts may not be easily resolved through direct communication with the client. In these situations, seeking mediation or outside help may be helpful, such as a trusted third party or a dispute resolution mechanism provided by the platform you're using. Protect your rights and interests: Finally, as a freelancer, it's essential to protect your rights and interests. Make sure you have a clear contract in place that outlines expectations, responsibilities, and dispute resolution mechanisms and be prepared to enforce your rights if necessary By following these tips and best practices, you can effectively manage client conflicts and maintain positive and professional relationships. What strategies have you found effective in dealing with demanding clients and resolving disputes? Let's share our experiences and insights!

Since I started freelancing on Fiverr, I have enjoyed the best feature that makes Fiverr very special among other platforms, Quick Answers. I've around 100 quick answers that help me to deal with the client & 95% of clients find the correct information that I've saved in short answers. Is this just me? or are you also using this feature as crazy as me? WhatsApp Video 2022-08-27 at 6.13.32 AM.mp4

It's something that someone might learn from experience. I prefer having a conversation before placing an order & a voice/video call after starting the regular discussion. During the video call, I usually ask 10 minutes of questions to know about the whole background "why they need the website & what are their Aims." Then, instead of providing them with a template website, I offer them a complete package that includes both UI/UX & WordPress Development. This is how I make more out of a simple order.

Thanks for making it clear, I do most of the custom offers, that drove my ASP to something better

Thanks for the appreciation. Pardon me, I didn't understand the Term ASP? haha, I'm not a native english speaker, so couldnn't get that

These are the results I'm getting from Promoted Gigs, I think that's great to have such a wonderful conversion & closing rate.

Congratulations ❤️ I have seen the hardwork you've put inside

Thank you so much for wonderful input

That's a nice idea, but just for sharing a portfolio, asking client's email will be a fine thing for Fiverr? I assume, they'll take it as negative step?

A client asked me for my portfolio and I sent him in the Google Sheets as usual. And he said that you're using someone else's portfolio. I got confused & asked, he said someone else also sent the same URLs and it's developed by them. 😮 wow, I got surprised that someone is using my hard work & pretending to be them 😕, that's not so good. I tried to investigate further but he didn't disclose the seller's profile because he was thinking that I'm lying. How would you handle such situation? What I'm planning, We must not share our portfolio to every client, maybe some of them are sellers but pretending to be a client? Suggestions?

Last month when I got a bad feedback which almost vanished me from search, so no more inquires for almost a month & instead of accusing or thinking about this, I moved on and started learning a new skill. Now I am going to offer another service to my clients which will definitely worth their money. How do you manage your free time when you don't have so much work to do? PS : I'm a mother of two kids. I drive everyday to my office with my kids. Also, I'm migrating to Portugal next month. So very busy schedule but still managed to learn something new with dedication. What about you?

Yes, if you're getting some cilcks but not getting any inquiry, I'll recommend making changes to your gig, title, picture, description, pricing etc. The trend changes over the time, explore new gigs & compare your offers. Also, I'll recommend offer something unique.

This is what I have for current week 😂. It was over 15K per day when I ranked at #1

everyone does that, what is your experience with cancellations? Did you feel a drop in rankings?

You're right, but this single thing dropped my ranking from #1 to totally disaapearing which caused me a big loss. This is a business, so profit & loss is a part of it, but if it's just someone's mistake then it hurts. But I'd have to live with it and work hard, so let it be Thanks for your input

If you see my profile and filter negative reviews. You will see this strange thing. She loved the outcome, responsiveness and listening to her requests but a 2 star to justify this. wow

I think this could also be responsible for lowering the rank. you guys could see this on my profile, I literally DO NOT understand if someone is pleased with the outcome, then why it's 2 stars? What to do in this situation?

As I stated in my previous post that I'm planning to make a proper team for my Freelance business. So I'm planning to create a small office environment where different freelancers can come and enjoy a healthy work environment. So they will mostly be Fiverr sellers, now my qusetion is Shall I allow them to use my office internet for their fiverr profiles? I have heard some myths that it's like a spam in Fiverr's Terms? as fiverr considers that multiple profiles are being used by just a person Please share your opinions

This is still a mystery, suggestions are being shared to solve this puzzle & everyone is sharing their own perspective. If we summarize this as fiverr says "A good quality work with a communcation" does this all. so this includes everything 😂

Are you working as an individual or a company for Fiverr? Does Fiverr offer any better solution for company environment?

I think we're thinking totally differently, sometime there are some scammy clients who threaten to give you 1 star with a detailed bad feedback, so I usually return them the money as well as they work which they already got in advance. I never preferred to have a bad looking feedback on my profile. I think you're right about this, having a 1 start maybe better than cancellation

I totally agree with you, but fiverr stopped my gig poromotion as well after that. Is it because competition is soooooo big? Or the client who cancelled the order may have reported something privately to Fiverr? Because apparently nothing seems wrong at all.

I've built over a thousand website or more and mostly I had to design websites for businesses. From small level to large businesses, they all wanted a good design. So I practiced a few tools like WP Bakery, Elementor, Thrive Builder, Divi Builder & AVADA. But then I thought a one single builder can do it all, why not practice on one builder to make something awesome. I chose Elementor Pro using Jupiter theme, they gave me a lot of options & made my journey so much easierrrrrrr. What do you guys prefer to use for a better Website Design?
