Freelance client onboarding is the process freelancers use to welcome and integrate new clients into their workflow. It typically involves gathering client information, setting expectations, outlining project scope, discussing timelines, and establishing communication methods. Effective onboarding helps build trust, ensures everyone is aligned on deliverables, and creates a smooth start to the project.
