Solo Entrepreneur
The persona
Alex is a freelance graphic designer managing 30 active clients via WhatsApp. They handle inquiries, project updates, invoicing reminders, and new lead qualification — alone.
The pain
- Constantly switching between design work and responding to messages.
- Forgetting to follow up on pending invoices.
- Writing the same "Here are my rates" message 5 times a week.
- No work-life boundary — clients message at 11 PM.
