like such a big deal they're necessary for one if you start going into deals with new clients and you don't have everything written down or at least the basics written down so it's good to have contracts it's good to have assigned contracts and it's better to have verified signatures versus just pdf signature back and forth or just faxed contracts so let's talk about what should be in this contract here is an actual contract that i used back in the day to close two thousand dollars of marketing work it was a two thousand dollar monthly contract and now i've templatized it for you our contracts now are a little longer but if you're just starting out as a freelancer i'm not a lawyer i'm not telling you this is legally binding but this will just help you get everything written down and it's what i used to use is what i'm saying so we'll start with the client name so you'll put your company's client name so let's say you're working with acme inc and you'll say acme inc marketing vendor management this contract is between acme inc and whatever your company name is our company was and is x27 llc so we'll go through the services rendered then i break down everything that we promised to deliver week by week for the first month and then ongoing for the rest of the month so so it was week one collection of marketing information and analysis of current marketing trends week two review of current vendors and sponsorships recommendations for marketing channels week three interviewing marketing vendors and collecting proposals week four setting number of leads to expect negotiation with vendors and initial budget sign off and then i said the next months of may and june would be covered in a future contract then i have this paragraph here which says once the first month is complete we'll speak to each vendor at least twice weekly so we talk about the management of what we're doing and then we'll also talk about reporting so you get weekly marketing reports and phone calls and the duration of the contract then payment so these are the sections that you need of your contract a summary the service is rendered the length of the contract how payment is done and then the signature so if you have those five you're good to go again not legal advice but this is what worked for us so i took this and then i templatized it for you so you can see client name name of service and you can customize this you can get this for free by clicking that link down below you got the summary the service is rendered with a week by week breakdown then the monthly recurring what they can expect the duration of the contract the payment and the signatures now let's say you've customized this for the client their company's name is acme their name is john smith and your company name is x27 and your name is alex berman my name is alex berman your name is something else so i'll just go to download and download it as a pdf then we can go over to my favorite signing tool signaturely and signaturely allows you to send a contract and get a signature in real time so here we go who needs to sign let's say me and others the title of the document will be marketing services contract and then acme plus x27 you can also leave a message so i would say hey mark here is the contract we discussed execute by end of day or let me know if you have any questions looking forward
