01 The problem

Feast or famine isn't a pricing problem.

Most freelance creatives think they need better clients. What they actually need is a system that stops clients from choosing themselves.

01

Referral-dependent pipeline.

02

Rates capped by what the market offers you.

03

Clients ghost, projects stall, revenue dips.

02 The certainty premium

Skill got you here. Certainty gets you paid.

At premium rates, buyers are not buying skill. They are buying certainty. Certainty that you've solved their specific problem before. Certainty that you'll show up. Certainty that the number on the invoice is the right number.

Certainty is signalled through three things, and none of them are posting more content. Positioning tells the market what you actually do and who you do it for. Proof turns existing client work into evidence that does the selling before the call. Sales mechanics move a warm lead from DM to signed invoice without discounting to close.

Most freelance creatives losing deals at $8K, $15K, $35K aren't losing to someone better. They're losing to someone certain. Fix the signal, not the volume.

That's what The Sprint builds: a positioning, proof, and sales system that makes your profile do the work — so posting becomes an amplifier, not a lifeline.

03 How it works

Eight weeks. Four phases. One system.

Live calls every week. Async review in between. By week eight the profile is the pipeline.

WEEKS 01 — 02 Positioning Find the specific niche the market will pay premium rates to serve. Strip everything that doesn't support it.
WEEKS 03 — 04 Profile & content Rewrite your LinkedIn from bio to featured. Build a two-hour-a-week content system that turns engagement into premium enquiries.
WEEKS 05 — 06 Outreach The inbound and outbound mechanics that put you in front of the right decision-makers without cold-pitching or discounting.
WEEKS 07 — 08 Sales The DM-to-call-to-close playbook. Scripts, proposals, pricing conversations. Move warm leads to signed invoices without flinching on rate.
04 Qualify yourself in

The Sprint is for working freelancers. Not for beginners.

The honest version: this works because you already have craft and paying clients to signal from. If you don't, you'll finish the cohort with a beautiful profile and no pipeline.

This is for you if…
  • You're earning $4K+ per month freelancing
  • You're an experienced designer, copywriter, UX or adjacent creative
  • You're tired of referral dependence and feast-or-famine months
  • You want to raise rates and package premium offers
  • You'll turn up for 8 weeks of live work
This isn't for you if…
  • You're a beginner without paying clients yet
  • You want to become a full-time content creator
  • You're looking for a quick hack or followers-first tactic
  • You're not willing to do the work

Huw Davies

25 years in design. Went freelance. Rebuilt my own pipeline on LinkedIn. Built The Sprint so others don't have to start from zero.

The Sprint is the program I built after rebuilding my own freelance pipeline on LinkedIn from scratch. Every framework inside it is one I still use — positioning, proof, outreach, sales. Nothing theoretical.

I'm not interested in follower games or content-creator dreams. I care about working creatives signing premium clients on terms they control.

07 What this isn't

The Sprint isn't a LinkedIn course.

It's a business system for working freelance creatives — positioning, proof, outreach, sales — with LinkedIn as the channel that compounds it. The alternatives solve the wrong problem.

The Sprint LinkedIn growth coaches Brand business memberships DIY (YouTube + figure it out)
What you actually get Premium clients signed Followers, impressions, engagement A 6-month curriculum + community Whatever you cobble together
The method Positioning → profile → outreach → sales Content volume, hooks, posting cadence Long-form modules + group coaching Patchwork
Time to first signed client Inside 8 weeks "Build the audience first" 3 – 6 months Unbounded
Live coaching with the founder Weekly Group calls, often async Twice-weekly group None
Commitment 8 weeks · optional community after 3 – 12 months 6-month membership Forever
Price $3,500 USD — on the page $500 → $5K+, often gated Mid-to-high four-figure, on a call Free + 18 months of your life
Best fit Working creatives ready to charge premium Anyone who wants more reach Designers building a studio team Self-learners with time, not money

If you want followers, hire a content coach.

If you want to build a studio, join a long-form membership.

If you want the next 8 weeks to turn your skill into signed premium work — that's what The Sprint does.

LinkedIn is the channel. The work is the business.

08 What you get

The guarantee

I don't leave until it clicks.

Yes — but it's not a refund guarantee. I'm not interested in selling you the option to quit.

Do the work across all 8 weeks, turn up to the calls, follow the framework, and if you haven't landed your first premium client conversation by the end, I keep working with you inside the group until you do. You already have 12 months of access — I just don't leave until it clicks.

That's my risk, not yours. If the system doesn't work, I'm still here.

10 Honest questions

Things people ask before applying.

What does it cost?

$3,500 USD per cohort. Pay in full, or split across two payments.

Can I pay in instalments?

Two options. Pay in full: one payment, done. Split it: 50% to secure your seat, 50% before the cohort starts. Both unlock the same access — pick whichever makes the decision feel real without dragging it out.

Do you offer a guarantee?

Yes — but it's not a refund guarantee. I'm not interested in selling you the option to quit.

Here's the deal: do the work across all 8 weeks, turn up to the calls, follow the framework, and if you haven't landed your first premium client conversation by the end, I keep working with you inside the group until you do. You already have 12 months of access — I just don't leave until it clicks.

That's my risk, not yours. If the system doesn't work, I'm still here.

Who is this actually for?

Experienced freelance designers, copywriters, and UX professionals earning $4K+/month who are tired of referral dependence and ready to build a consistent premium pipeline.

Not for: beginners, agency owners, or anyone looking for a LinkedIn growth course.

How is this different from a LinkedIn growth course?

LinkedIn growth courses teach you how to get followers. The Sprint teaches you how to land premium clients.

The Sprint is a client acquisition program that uses LinkedIn as the channel. Positioning, offer design, outreach, and sales — not audience growth.

What if I already post on LinkedIn?

Even better. You've already solved the hardest part, which is the habit.

What's probably missing is the positioning that turns post engagement into premium enquiries. That's what the 8 weeks rebuild.

I can't make every call live. Is that a problem?

No. Every session is recorded and posted inside the Skool group within 24 hours. Members review, ask questions in the thread, and bring what they need to the next live call.

Most members catch 4–6 of the 8 live and watch the rest back. That still works.

Who runs it?

Huw Davies. 25 years in design. #3 LinkedIn Growth Expert in Australia. Based in Melbourne.

The Sprint is the program I built after rebuilding my own freelance pipeline on LinkedIn. Every framework inside it is one I still use.

What happens after I apply?

You'll receive a short qualifier form followed by a 30-minute diagnostic call. If we're a fit on both sides, you'll get the enrolment link. If we're not, I'll tell you why and where to look instead.

No pressure, no pitch.

What happens when the 8 weeks end?

You keep 12 months of access to The Sprint community on Skool.

That includes a weekly group call where every past cohort member can turn up and work through live positioning, pricing, and pipeline questions. Plus the members' room where the group workshops stuck points together.

The 8 weeks is where you build the system. The 12 months is where it compounds.

A quick note from me

You've scrolled this far. You've read the case studies, the price, the guarantee. You probably know if this is for you.

So let me drop the marketing voice for a minute.

I built The Sprint because I rebuilt my own freelance pipeline from scratch on LinkedIn, and I watched too many talented creatives stuck on the same loop I'd been on — referral-dependent, undercharging, hoping the next email lands.

This isn't a LinkedIn course. It's a business system. Positioning, proof, outreach, sales — the things that actually move money. LinkedIn is the channel that compounds the work, not the work itself. Get that distinction wrong and you'll spend two years posting and wondering why nothing changes.

I'm not the right person if you want followers, viral hooks, or a content-creator life. I'm the right person if you want a small number of premium clients who pay you properly, on terms you control, without the feast-or-famine.

I run every cohort myself. No VAs, no automated drips, no upsells inside. You apply, we talk, and if it's a fit you're in the room with me for 8 weeks — and in the community for 12 months after.

If you do the work and the system doesn't land you a premium client conversation, I don't leave until it clicks. That's not a refund. It's a commitment. The risk is mine.

If that's the kind of work you want to do, apply. If it isn't, no hard feelings — go build the thing you actually want.
