Working well with a remote professional
Simple habits that keep remote projects on time and free of surprises.
Topplancer team1 min readAgree how you will communicate
Decide early how often you will check in and where. Keeping messages and files in Topplancer means everything about the project is in one place if questions come up later.
Share everything up front
Delays usually come from waiting on the client. Before work starts, send:
- Brand assets and examples you like
- Access to any accounts the work needs
- The name of the person who approves the work
Give feedback that can be acted on
Be specific: “make the headline larger and move the button above the photo” is easier to act on than “make it pop”. Group your feedback into one message per round.
Approve promptly
Review submitted work within the time you agreed. Prompt approvals keep the professional motivated and the project moving.
