How to convince a foreign client to sign an agreement and make a bank transfer for services?

Question

Freelance

Hello.
I am IP. I do web development. I have a foreign currency account in a Russian bank. My tasks are:
1) for foreign clients to work with me officially under a contract, although they don’t actually need it - to read, delve into, print, sign, scan, and so on
2) in the future, payment for services was made only by direct bank transfer, i.e. by bank transfer. to. in my opinion, this is the only way to work in a white Russian freelancer IP
I do not consider the option of accepting credit cards through payment systems / aggregators. I studied this issue for a long time and realized that this does not suit me, because. everything I saw:
- either does not work with currency / cards of non-residents, maximum with the CIS (Russian payment systems)
- or does not provide reporting for currency control / tax (international payment systems)
- or works exclusively with subscription markets and services, i.e. payment for freelance services for legal entities via invoices is not supported by them
. in the world, paypal is mainly distributed, and the client is unlikely to entrust his credit card details to an unfamiliar left-handed service.
Judging by what Russian freelancers (working in white) and companies write, they seem to have no difficulties at all with official work under contracts with foreign clients, and they receive money to a bank account without any leftist schemes and intermediaries. Here I need exactly the same, though my scope of work is not planned large, about $ 1k per order.
Please tell me how to formulate these requirements for clients so as not to be refused, because. besides me, is there a queue of the same freelancers who do not have such problems (bureaucracy)?

Answer 1

The real cost of the work is $100. You issue an
invoice to the client for $125.
You offer a discount and a reset to $110 if you agree to the contract.

Answer 2

Никто не захочет выёживаться, платя из своих кровных больше чем 30$ фиксированной комиссии за свифт-перевод (wire transfer), если там сама работа до 1000$.
С таким подходом клиенты отвернутся нафиг, и пойдут к гарну хлопцу, кто принимает PayPal, Payoneer или Western Union.

Answer 3

If you work through Upwork, then in addition to the guarantee of payments, you get work through a single foreign payer. And you don’t even need a contract, you can get by with an offer translated into Russian.
If you work with him CONSTANTLY for months and years, you will convince him. And you work well.
For a one-time order lasting several weeks - no one needs this.

Answer 4

Вообще не встречался чтобы заказчик отказывался от договора и белой работы, пробовали просто спросить?
ЧТобы не надо было распечатывать, можно отправлять дхлем и они же обратно привезут.

Answer 5

за свой счет комиссию оплачивать.. На самом деле убедить достаточно сложно... Вариантов маловато
