  • Do you have trouble bring up price? How do you get to the budget quickly while still taking time to listen to the client's problems?
    In this video Mo struggles with bringing up budget on a recent call he had with a client so Chris showcases how Mo should've handled the client call. He shares that you should bring up the budget as soon as you have enough information to be able to quote how much the solution will cost.

    I came across this video months after it was posted, but I must say it is timeless. Chris, you are the first person who is giving graphic designers self-confidence and worth! These are the basic characteristics of a human being, but in many cases, they are taken away from us by our parents and replaced with insecurities and the conviction of being inadequate. I can write articles and articles about this, but the most important thing I need to say is: THANK YOU! I hope every graphic designer or creative person finds you and takes your words into his/her heart and applies them in their life! So others would always look at us with respect.

    This, to me is perfect content. You could tell that even though this was a re-enactment, the dynamic between the two was real. Chris seems to have the neural pathways burned in from years of repeat experiences - so he was in there like swimwear lol. There was more acceptance than resistance on his part. Mo seemed to know intrinsically what the client wanted - you could tell he listened. Maybe empathy and drive to wanna be better caused Mo to invoke "Kristina" so well. Yeah you've heard a lot of it before, but a few years of listening to Chris, mixed with first-hand experience leads you to understand WHY this works so well.
    No idea why i decided to do a random monologue...i guess the video resonated. Loving the content guys! You're the gift that keeps on giving.

    This particular role playing is effective and I would even agree that taking on low budget clients not only dilutes the agency's reputation and brand BUT, I've personally seen countless agencies here in LA say "I'm sorry we can't work with that budget, but we have so and so we can refer you to" and it's almost always 1-2 guys in a small room in the physical office of the agency acting as a "separate company" to take on the work. Because at the end of the day, $2500 is $2500 they don't have. I'm not saying Chris and Blind do that, but it's way more common than not.
