Clients in the fields

 Clients in the fields 


Have your clients commit to you and they will keep coming back. When a client come back keep the focus on their needs and the services you can provide to them at industry standard, according to their budget. The client will get caught up in their need to get a lower price, as long as you are able to reinforce industry standard and budget then you are on the right path of the negotiation. Just like conversation, negotiations can take a long time. Sticking to your values decreases theirs and raises your profitability. 

Meet and greet :  who and how you meet matters. You want to meet people who you can provide services to and those that need your services.  If the meet does not lead into a conversation about exchange of services,  a business lead, a collaboration, joint venture, or etc  leading to your next destinations then it is a waste of time.

Negotiations : how to Handel the cost of the relationship. Who does what and who does not. What is needed to create balance of hierarchy.

Working together : encouragement is needed in every relationship.  You should always encourage your relationships to move forward. Provide the best information possible that will create critical thinking. Give critical feedback and helpful alternatives that will  help the relationship.  Resolve all issues and come to a conclusion within a timely manner. Compromise provides distance and resistance within the flow of the relationship it takes a person off of its path and distorts the flow of direction. Collaboration provides flow within the relationship, it allows you to be you within the relationship thus allowing you to flow as only would.

Process of communication : learn the language of the relationship, establish definitions and create clarity.  Come to solid conclusions and resolve all issues.

Phase of the relationship: establish time lines and boundaries

Producing the Product: set goals and reach milestones. Stay in your own lane and don't cross contaminant. In the case that multiple hats are being worn, respect the position that you are in.

Engaging the client.: when engaging the client you want to find out a few things. What are the needs of the client wants and your answer to the client needs. Does the client have a budget? Your price is always industry standard,  but you can work within the budget when one is available.  If they need a estimated budget one could be drafted, consultation fee of $300 +/-  depending on the individuals project.
