In episode 143, we’re diving into designer questions!

Question 1: Should you share personal vulnerabilities with clients? We chat about the growing trend of sharing personal stories in business and whether it’s something you should embrace.

Question 2: How do you handle a demanding retainer client? One of our listeners is dealing with a client who’s taking up two to three days of their week. We discuss setting clear boundaries, creating a client portal to streamline communication, and whether it’s time to reassess the profitability of that retainer.

Question 3: How do you overcome the belief that your target clients can’t afford your services? We know how frustrating it can be when potential clients balk at your pricing. We’ll talk through how to explore different client segments, communicate the true value of your services, and tweak your pricing strategy to suit a range of budgets without compromising on your passion.
