Thank you. Cheers.

I particularly liked the idea of scoring potential clients. (PVP framework) 1. Passion (for client and what they're working on) 2. Value to market (I assume, value of my offer to client and others like them) 3. Profitability (how much does it make financial sense to take this client) I guess, sometimes as designers, we get so caught up on, how to get potential clients to 'choose' us, that we forget that we also have a choice around who we work with . Recently made a super long list of companies I'd genuine adore to work with, and it helped me get a clearer picture of my avatar.

The insights on refining your client portfolio are spot on. One advanced tactic is to conduct a 'reverse audit' on your existing clients, identifying not just who you enjoy working with, but also who brings the most strategic value to your business. This often reveals opportunities to pivot or offer new services that align with high-value clients' evolving needs.

I think it's a wise pivot they made to teach business people design, bc what happens with all those designers who now understand business, if they aren't able to communicate the value of their design solutions to business owners and communicators?

"you just have to wait for candela to light you up" that gave me chills great line :D

Absolutely brilliant…!!!

Refreshing to find many things said out loud, intentionally, that I've believed and suspected for years. Wish I would have found a resource like Chris and his team a long time ago

"I can't find my glasses" I was thinking the same solution for the issue with the dual-coupled target avatars 2 websites, or branched website based on user archetype it just hit me that, if I could see such a potential solution without thinking about it so much, then it's possible that I also have problems that look really big, only to me Takeaway: asking for help, helps

Great episode! Thanks! 💡

question on portfolios… I have an understanding that a portfolio should show the best of one's work… right now, what if I want to document all my projects somewhere (separate from my main "storefront" portfolio) my idea is to make a secondary portfolio, dedicated to showing the growing process and reasoning behind projects that was context. Here's the actual question (open to The Futur team, and others) : What are your opinions on sharing this secondary portfolio with potential clients, so thy can see your track record and trust you more for it? Do you think this would do more help or hurt? (this is something I've been wrestling with for months. Thanks for your insights)

@thefutur

Versus wrestling with it for month why not just create it? Sounds like the secondary portofolio you're talking about can be turned into a blog for your website.

@@thefutur Brilliant name for it, indeed!I am not even a graphic designer, but I will be learning here! I can see all the innovation I have neglected thanks to the content. A blog is for "SEO and leads meta tags, and to prepare for sales...not for content"..that was eye opening. I don't think this was said here, but I did hear it from this channel. And profile pictures as pattern interrupters! Wow! Devil is in the details! Thanks so much. Who knows how far these small twicks can take me! Implementing implementing!

You can present anything, just don't lie. Great idea. 1 point though - is there no risk of ie Mini Cooper coming along and saying 'hey, take that off your site please?' I mean, I'd totally do it and have used spec/skit work in media adjacent to my main work but if there is more potential exposure I wonder how that works out....even if you're not specifically lying. Does it come under fair use or you just say sorry and take it down?

It’s a spec commercial. Students do this. Up and coming directors do this. There’s some risk.

These jobs that you post Chris, are they in your facebook pro group? How do we get in on this? 🙏

They're available inside of the Futur Pro Group.

I love Chris and what he does, but in these classes there is just a touch of condescension when he talks to the people in his audience and it cuts like a knife. For a man so aware and considered with his personal brand, I can only assume that's intentional - and so I wonder why?
