Service Provider Red Flag #2: Refusal to Show Previous Work
Before hiring a service provider, you should have some idea of the quality and style of work they deliver.
A professional service provider should be able to provide examples of previous projects, a portfolio, testimonials, or another way for potential clients to understand their experience and capabilities.
Of course, some work may be protected by confidentiality agreements, so not every project can be publicly shared. However, a complete lack of examples or an unwillingness to provide any proof of experience is worth considering before moving forward.
