Confessions of a Hypercritical Client: What Your Clients Don’t Say, But Should
About this Webinar
Clients can be frustrating with unreal expectations, last minute rushes, endless direction changes and redo’s. But too often, they feel pushback and wonder if their agency partner really gets it. Agency says “We’ll think about it,” clients hear “Not doing it.” Agency says “We’re working on it,” clients hear “Not going to be done on time.” Most clients would love to loosen the reins, but stakes are different. Agencies get embarrassed by missed deadlines or blown budgets; brand managers get fired. Rather than aggravate the situation by complaining, clients tend to micromanage the process and judge more critically. You both share the same goal of campaign success. To get there, you need even your most difficult clients to believe that you truly understand their brand, their situation and them personally better than anyone else ever could.
