How To Get Webflow Retainer Clients
1 Article, 1 Podcast, 3 Inspo Websites, 3 Webflow Jobs. Let's Go!
Hey Webflailers - it’s Jack.
Do you ever try to please everyone so much that the only person you don’t please is yourself?
Probably only this year, I’ve started saying no when I don’t want to do things.
Recently, I pushed back on a client recently saying that this work was out of scope.
Guess what? The client just said “ok, send us an invoice for that work then.”
It turns out I didn’t disappoint them by pushing back. It helped our relationship because I had set boundaries.
Saying no isn’t bad or wrong or disappointing. It’s actually fucking liberating.
Protect your space. Set your boundaries. Please yourself as much as others.

Welcome to episode 29 of Webflail! Today's guest is Alessia Sannazzaro.
In 2016, Alessia co-founded Code & Wander, an agency that helps companies move quickly by using cutting-edge no-code tools to design and build websites and applications. The agency now comprises of 9 people and is doing well. Alessia is big on community - in November last year, Alessia created FlowTools, a collection of 56+ resources created by the Webflow community all in one place. She is also keen on mentorship having been involved in various startup programmes such as Startup Sprint, The Big Idea Challenge, Hack for Good and Creative Spark in London.
The 3 failures Alessia wants to talk about are:
Failing to handle the hiring process well
Failing to realise overly crafted proposals may not help conversions
Failing to start doing retainers early enough
