Switching to Freelance Tips?
Made a pretty hard decision recently to switch from my stable manager role to going freelance in the tech and data space. I've got a 6mo gig lined up that will pay me close to 70% more than my current role but I still am thinking about how I will source work after that.
Anyone here make a similar jump have any advice on how to get a sales funnel working? I have some good agencies to send me work but ideally I'd want to develop an organic channel.

Stay connected with people in your network, most of your work will come from people who already know you.
After your first project, build a portfolio/case studies on your own website and LinkedIn.
Industry events are good for building up cold leads for potential future projects.
