Hey everybody, Chris here.

We're trying something a little bit different than what we normally do for the podcast.

We're doing solo episodes.

These are shorter, more contained.

Built around certain themes and questions, I think, are very relevant for us to be talking about.

So wherever you're listening to this, however you're seeing this,

let us know in the comments and the feedback, what you think.

And we'll make some adjustments.

You can't. and we'll make some adjustments. Welcome to a super short episode of the future.

Today we're going to talk about the five things that creatives do to lose clients,

clients that are so hard to get.

Some of the best ways that you can lose a client, and you have to keep in mind it's really hard to get a client in the first place, so you need to treat them like the gold that they are,

especially when you're young and you feel like you're God's gift to whatever it is that you do,

then you can take it for granted and think, well, I'm the gift and they should be so grateful to work with me.

A is when you're not being responsive.

That's one of the best ways to lose a client.

When they ask you for something and it takes hours, days, weeks for you to respond. For whatever reason, that should never happen. I don't mean to say

you're on their beck in call and there's a hotline to your personal phone, but you should have

systems in place that people are responding. And sometimes when you don't have a really good

answer, the best response is just to say, received, we are processing,

I will get back to you as soon as I have a good answer for you.

So just make sure responsiveness is something that I use to measure
