The Freelancer's Follow-Up Problem

Proposals Get Ignored

Clients get busy. A great proposal sits unread for a week and then they forget about it. The freelancer who follows up wins — but following up manually feels awkward and desperate.

Invoices Go Unpaid

Clients don't always pay on time, and chasing payments feels uncomfortable. Without a system, freelancers either don't follow up (and don't get paid) or send awkward manual reminders.

Projects Stall on Client Feedback

You submit a deliverable and wait weeks for client feedback. Without automated follow-up, projects drag out, timelines slip, and your own schedule gets disrupted.

How Nudge Works for Freelancers

Proposal Follow-Up Sequences

Send the proposal, then set 2-3 automated follow-ups. Keep your name in front of the client until they're ready to decide — without feeling pushy.

Contract Signature Nudges

After sending a contract, set automated reminders until it's signed. Stop waiting and wondering — let Nudge handle the gentle persistence.

Invoice Payment Reminders

Set nudges on every invoice — due date reminder, 7-day overdue, 30-day overdue. Get paid systematically without manual tracking or awkward calls.

Deliverable Feedback Requests

Submit a draft or milestone, then set a follow-up for client feedback. Never wait more than a few days for a response before nudging automatically.

Editable Every Time

Every nudge can be individually edited before sending — add project-specific context or a personal note so follow-ups feel genuine, not automated.

Auto-Stop on Reply

When the client responds, nudges stop automatically. No awkward double follow-ups when a conversation is already in progress.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Nudge worth it if I only have a few clients?

Yes — even with 5 active clients, Nudge ensures every proposal, invoice, and deliverable gets properly followed up. At $20/mo (50 nudges/reminders at this tier), landing one extra project per month from better follow-up more than pays for itself.

Will clients think I'm using automation?

No — nudges send from your Gmail as personal emails. Every nudge is individually editable before sending, so follow-ups feel genuine and personal — not templated.

Can I set different timing for proposals vs. invoices?

Yes — you control the timing and number of nudges per email thread. Aggressive follow-up for overdue invoices, gentler pacing for proposals. Each sequence is independent.

Does it work with platforms like Upwork or Toptal?

Nudge works within Gmail. For clients you communicate with via Gmail (direct clients, off-platform relationships), it's perfect. For platform-only messaging, you'd need to move conversations to email first.
