I find that taking care of your clients will help you retain them. If you take your customers for granted you will indeed suffer, people underestimate the power of customer service and assume that it’s all about price. Particularly in the printing industry there are many who promise the world and deliver nothing.

Great ideas as always.

Nish, I have a couple of suggestions for you.

As far as your prices being too high for a particular client, can you design packages? In other words, can you have a “Bare Bones Package”, “Deluxe Package” and “Super Deluxe Package” with services for each? Put them side by side on your proposal, so the client can compare the packages and possibly upgrade in the future.

Also, as far as designing a free home page– don’t do it. They are hoping to get it for free. Just show them the home pages that you have already designed in your portfolio. Tell them that once you learn about their product or service, you will be able to design a home page like so many of the ones already in your portfolio.

If you make a mistake, own it, correct it and attempt to understand how it happened so you can avoid it in the future. And since the person you’re reporting to probably reports to someone else, be willing take your admission of error up a level. You don’t like getting blamed for something someone else failed to do or did incorrectly — your clients are no different, and will appreciate your honesty.

Of course, never ID or acknowledge a problem or error without also offering — or already putting into place — a solution. Honesty is great. Honesty + answers is even better.

Great tips for a somewhat newbie freelancer. I’ve been doing web dev / design for many years now but thought I might take it upon myself to to do freelance work aside from my day job. After all designing and developing is what I enjoy most. My problems isn’t clients leaving me (thus far) but rather prospective clients delaying for so long that I eventually move on to the next project that comes my way and failing to maintain communication with the prospective ones. Either way this article provide some great insight into what I could come across in the future. Thanks.
