Finding Clients
Managing Project/Client Stress (posted for May 2009)
Check out five ways to keep from losing your mind, handle
difficult clients and get through stressful projects! Most stress in a business
based on creative services comes from trying to balance conflicting needs,
especially on client projects. It’s a familiar quandary: You have to meet the
client’s needs and you want to be creative. You need to dedicate yourself to
your business and you want to spend time with your family and friends.

Finding Clients Online (posted for April 2009)

Finding Clients
Beyond The Sales Call (posted for November 2008)
The tone and code of behavior in your client relationships is set from
your first contact, through your follow-up and in to your first job
with them. Building relationships does not just "happen" for you. You
need to keep your fears from overcoming good business sense. You need
to keep your clients coming back and paying your price. You need to
become more aware of the courtship and bonding in the creative/client
relationship. You need a plan to go beyond the sales call.

Creating Community (posted December 2007)
Building your creative community turns out to be one of the
most important aspects of being a creative professional. This is not any kind
of hard-sell promotion. It is the development of professional connections and
relationships on a personal level.
