Been talking to freelance writers lately about the gap between "here's the final draft" and an actual approval. Same story every time: marketing likes it, then it goes to legal or the founder, two weeks later you get feedback from three people who clearly didn't talk to each other, and the invoice just sits there. The writers who had it under control did two things. They put a review window in the contract (client gets 5 business days to approve or request changes, no reply = approved), and they required all feedback to come back as one consolidated response from one point of contact. Apparently the second part helps even more because the client has to sort out their own approval chain. What's the longest you've waited for sign-off on something you'd already finished?   submitted by   /u/ArgumentAshamed1066 [link]   [comments]
