What is Fullgap? A guide to getting started

Last year, I nearly lost a big client because I forgot to send an invoice on time. The project was set to commence, but the delay in creating a statement of work, designing a nice invoice, and getting a contract from my lawyer friends made me look unprofessional.

As if it was no enough that I nearly lost the client, managing tasks, having to send payment reminders for deliverables completed, and keeping track of deadlines were draining me (I still had my 9-5).

That’s when I realized I needed a system to handle it all for me.

I met Victor Fatanmi and Fullgap, and everything changed. Fullgap helped me granular with all my deliverables and tasks because I had to outline everything before the project started, and it also made me comfortable with money.

In this article, I’ll show you what Fullgap is and how you can use it to transform how you run your business.
