#282 // The Lounge “Working For The Right Clients” ft Cam + Joey
Description
We say this all the time, but let’s beat the drums again…
The wrong clients are worse than no clients.
Now let’s say it one more time…
The wrong clients are worse than no clients.
Ok ok one more time for good measure…
The wrong clients are worse than no clients.
It’s all well and good to chase work, but are you chasing the right kind of work?
What happens if you win the work? Do you even want it?
Such an interesting convo tbh.
Today Cam + Joey dive into what to look for in an ideal client, what are the ingredients that make up an ideal client, and the importance of client retention.
In a world that gets swept away with shiny object syndrome, it’s very important to look after the ideal clients and not take them for granted.
Also be careful on who you chase, we all know the wrong clients are worse than no clients!
Enjoy the pod xx
