Awesome vid. I love the idea of the respone deck !

This happened yesterday,I am an illustrator, currently working on a "big" project, a client agreed to pay 50% upfront and after two months of missing the deadline for the payment, when I confronted them calmly and politely they got angry with me and deleted my name from the official site of the project and told me that they will contact me in two months. Even after all the compliments in countless e-mails they gave me for my work.This was sadly a first project for me that would pay really well and I'm sad and disappointed. Gotta pick up on red flags earlier.

Bravo!!!!...empathy and compassion toward the clients....when we do what we love and we are very passionate we can offer not just a service, but we are there to listen, and as we do that, we can learn so much from them, we become aware of who they are and what they need, is not so much to practice what to say but to become aware of the moment and to listen, whatever they are projecting in their objections has a lot to do with how they perceive our services through past experiences or competitive mentality...we are here to create, not to compete!..., we can clarify with authenticity and confidence that we want the best for them at the en of the day. Every designer offers a very unique way of doing the job and we must understand also that not every person is going to like our style, price or way of doing things, and that is ok....i love doing the very best for my clients, but my version of the very best it's not their version of best...being neutral to me means accepting that not everyone has to like or accept what we do and we simply move on...we should never act desperate to get the job and focus more on the most effective way to solve problems instead.....thank you again for sharing your expertise and time with us!...very much appreciated! :)

Will do for sure, its hard though but will do, thank you for the reply - also I was planning to ask something but never found the perfect question to do so but now I have and I guess almost every designer might be facing it. The question is How to get clients for a longer period of time? For example, I am from India and I am sr. interactive designer in an IT firm, so as an IT firm we mainly provide custom web apps to clients for which they pay us on monthly bases around $1,000 , so what are some quality services I can offer to reach that level, Luckily its just been around 10 months I am designing and special thanks to your channel I now have 40+ Clients but as in long-term what service can I provide ?? I thought of social media marketing and did that for a few clients but again I think its fluctuating, I want to provide some value to them for a long period of time. Kindly suggest. Thank you for your time :)
