Designing relationships : Hunting or Farming?
Ralph Ardill : Founder and CEO, The Brand Experience Consultancy, previously of Imagination.
Is the model of hunter or farmer the most productive way to generate good client relationships?
Designers and their clients need to work together to get the best results, with respect for each others businesses and trust in each others knowledge of their respective industries.
Good relationships are key in achieving this, but how do we achieve good relationships in the first place? How can we win new clients and, more importantly, keep them? Or when and how should we say goodbye?
Followed by Ralphs Clinic Q&A: resolving your current client issues on the spot!
