If you’ve ever felt totally overwhelmed with managing multiple clients on retainers and feeling like you need to work every day to keep up with the work and keep them happy, moving to a VIP day offer could be a great option for you to simplify your business. The concept of VIP days have been around for a while now, but in today’s world, so many people value their freedom over anything else and so the VIP day model of serving clients is booming. If you’ve been wanting to make the move, but feel confused and don’t know where to start, today’s episode is for you!
Diving into VIP days with us is Sarah Masci, the CEO and Founder of Day Rate Mastery®, an online company that teaches expert service providers how to work less and make more with a streamlined “VIP Day” business model. Years of running a traditional design business, filled with scope creep, inconsistent timelines and overlapping client projects, eventually resulted in classic burnout– becoming the catalyst that sparked Sarah’s desire to create a better process. Since its inception in 2019, Day Rate Mastery® has helped thousands of freelancers rediscover joy in their work and the freedom they’d lost along the way.
