JATENT - How Much Are You Worth? (Negotiation Tactics, Financial Literacy, and Best Practices)

How Much Are You Worth?

A webinar for freelancing professionals on the topics of negotiation tactics, financial literacy, networking, and best practices.

Tina and Ekaterina have been speaking on these topics to university students for years, but the freelancing world can feel complicated and isolating, especially when it comes to the practical and financial side of things, even for veterans. As such, this webinar is also tailored for freelancing professionals who have already worked in the business for some time.

Tina and Ekaterina will present a variety of practical advice for how to determine your worth as a freelancing professional, how to speak and negotiate with current and potential clients, how to network with fellow professionals, best practices for staying on top of the administrative side of things, and personal tips on how to navigate it all.
