SUMMARY:Turn your LinkedIn into a client pipeline in 4 hours
DESCRIPTION:You know you should be visible on LinkedIn. But finding the time: and the courage: to actually hit “publish” is a different story.\nMany freelancers remain stuck in the expert paradox: you have valuable skills and experience\, but the right clients never find you. Posting occasionally without a clear system rarely leads to real opportunities.\n\nThis workshop helps you turn LinkedIn into a structured client pipeline instead of a place where you occasionally update your CV or post without results. \nThis is not a seminar where you sit and listen. This is a “Laptops Open” Sprint. You will improve your profile\, define your content strategy and take concrete steps toward becoming visible\, with expert guidance and peer support. \n\nWhat you will accomplish in 4 hours: \n\n– Build a LinkedIn profile that attracts clients\nYour LinkedIn profile should do more than list your experience. It should clearly communicate who you help and why clients should contact you. \nIn this session you will: \n\nFix your positioning using the Unique Value Zone formula (Skill + Audience + Unique Angle)\nImprove your LinkedIn headline and About section\nMake your profile easier to understand and more relevant for potential clients\n\n  \n– Create and plan your LinkedIn content\nYou will set up a simple and realistic content workflow that fits into a busy freelance schedule. Instead of constantly searching for inspiration\, you will learn how to turn your daily work and client conversations into relevant LinkedIn content. \nIn this session you will:  \n\nDefine a clear direction for your LinkedIn content\nSet up your 60-minute content factory so you can plan content efficiently\nPrepare your first LinkedIn posts & define your first month of content topics\n\n  \n– Start building your client pipeline\nThis workshop is designed for action. You won’t just plan your LinkedIn strategy. You will actually start building your client pipeline. \nDuring the workshop you will: \n\nIdentify the types of clients and profiles you want to connect \nSend targeted connection requests to ideal clients using the Flintstoning method\, a personal and authentic way to connect without feeling spammy\nTake your first concrete steps toward a consistent LinkedIn outreach routine. You will leave with real conversations started and a client pipeline already in motion.\n\n\nYou will work alongside fellow freelancers who are going through the same process.\nBesides expert guidance\, you will learn from each other by sharing ideas\, giving feedback and seeing how other freelancers position themselves and approach LinkedIn. This often makes it easier to move forward and gives you new ideas you wouldn’t have thought of on your own. \n\n\nTickets:\n\nFiBe PRO Members: Discount Access €49 . Join PRO for €24.90 a month or €250 a year. Get the discount code in the event on the platform. PRO is a membership where you connect with other freelancers through monthly networking events and learn about topics helping you advance as an independent professional. \nNon-Members: €199 (excl.

SUMMARY:What clients really look for when hiring freelancers - Freelancers in Belgium PRO –  Grow your freelance business sessions
DESCRIPTION:You send a great message. You hear nothing.\nYou send a proposal. They go with someone else. \nWhat’s happening on the other side? \nBart De Waele has spent years on both sides of that equation. He helps companies find and select freelancers and agencies – and he works closely with agencies themselves on how they pitch\, position and win work. He was in the rooms where decisions get made\, and in the rooms where proposals get built. He saw which profiles got dismissed in seconds – and why. And which freelancers and agencies kept getting called back\, without ever knowing what they were doing right. \nAt this meetup\, he’ll take you inside the client’s head: how assignments are actually shaped internally\, what a first message does or doesn’t do\, how clients compare during the decision stage\, and what makes a freelancer unforgettable – or replaceable. \nNo theory. Just the inside view of the selection process\, from someone who’s sat at every table. \nBring your own cases. An outreach message you’re not sure about. A pricing question. A client situation you can’t figure out. Most of this is Q&A – Bart reviews live and gives direct feedback. \nFreelancers in Belgium PRO – Grow your freelance business sessions\nWe meet online every month (and occasionally in person) for practical marketing workshops focused on helping freelancers increase their visibility\, strengthen their positioning\, attract better clients\, and build sustainable opportunities.\nTopics include\, for example: \n\nPersonal branding and visibility\nLinkedIn and content strategy\nPositioning and niche\nCommunicating your offer clearly\nPricing\nFinding clients without feeling salesy\n\nThese sessions are designed for freelancers of all professions. \nHost\nEach session is hosted by Jenny Björklöf\, founder and community leader of Freelancers in Belgium. She shares practical insights from her own experience as a freelancer and from running a community of more than 17\,000 freelancers.\nSome sessions also feature guest experts who bring additional perspectives and expertise. \n\nTickets€ 29 VAT excl.
