Introducing The Client Process Course
The introduction starts off with a strong statement about the course, The Client Process, by introducing what it can do for anyone who takes it: Courteous, effective, profitable. Those are impressive claims, and they might seem like a lot to live up to. But here’s the thing. When we take the time to truly learn and implement the basic principles of an efficient client process, we have nothing to fear. We can raise our prices – even to those who might otherwise tell us no. We can afford to take on bigger projects. We will achieve success.

Conclusion: Empowering Designers for Success
There are so many books out there on design psychology, research methodology, and drawing. But so few of them teach designers how to move from confusion to confidence, when it comes to a key aspect of design: the client process. In addition, so few of them teach you the systems and processes you need to develop, in order to grow a business, via the client process.
Presenting for the very first time, my course: “The Client Process” is a step-by-step guide for any designer, who aspires to go from confusion to confidence: On lead generation, clarifications and estimation. On managing conversations, clients’ expectations and payments. On hiring trustworthy freelancers and keeping them happy. And on using tactics and tools, that increase your productivity.
Whether you are starting out as a freelancer, looking for inspiration for your current practice, or struggling with the stress of a difficult client relationship, ‘The Client Process’ is the guide for you.
