Every freelancer or agency creative has encountered a “difficult” client. But fear not! Our friends at Coplex (formerly Ciplex) have compiled a survival guide to these sometimes-temperamental collaborators.
This humorous “field guide” identifies 15 distinct client types, from the micromanaging “Know-It-All” to the ever-elusive “The Ghost.” But it goes beyond mere identification. Just like any field guide, it offers crucial “care and feeding” instructions for each client personality.
Feeling overwhelmed by a client who needs everything “yesterday”? The guide equips you with the tactics to manage their expectations. Struggling with a client who seems to have vanished? Learn how to reel them back in.
Remember, the elusive “no” can be a powerful tool, so don’t be afraid to use it when necessary.
So, bookmark this essential resource: “The Field Guide to the Wonderful World of Clients.” It’ll have you prepared to navigate any creative collaboration, from smooth sailing to choppy waters.
