🚫 Ghosted? Who ya gonna call?

[logo] [hero-image] Art by [Chelsea Bunn]( “When you hear the word ‘ghosted’ you might immediately think of dating. But ghosting can happen in business, too. One day everything is great with your client or prospective client, and then poof. They’re gone. What should a freelancer do when a client ghosts on them?” Has there been radio silence between you and a client you’ve been working with? Sometimes it’s uncomfortable or disconcerting trying to figure out the best way to approach a client-gone-cold. Don’t worry, though, designers: we’re joined on the Dribbble blog by editor, author, and designer Cameron Chapman, who’s sharing with us [some tried-and-true tips]( for navigating situations where you’ve been ghosted as a freelancer. You’ll learn what the best cadence is to [reach out to clients]( who have become unresponsive, depending on the progress of the project you’re working on. This includes everything from gentle, [friendly reminders](, to progressively upping the ante—whether by automatically 🧾 sending invoices, employing 📝 lawyer-approved letters to spark a response, or bringing misbehaving clients to ⚖️ small claims court if necessary. However, as you’ll read, one of the [largest takeaways]( to buck the possibility—or the ensuing fallout—of being ghosted is to ✍️ always have a contract before agreeing to a project, as well as 💰 always requiring a deposit before you actually start pushing any pixels. Head on over to the [Dribbble blog]( to see more of Cameron’s suggestions for avoiding the specter of being ghosted as a freelancer.
