How to profit from a reality check
Article Abstract:
Designers can lessen the fear and insecurity surrounding their relationships with their clients by conducting client surveys. Surveys might ask clients about why a design was chosen, about the firm's scheduling performance, about how the final bill matched the original estimate, and if any particular areas need improvement. In short, designers should make the most of clients that have taken the trouble to invest in their firms in the first place.
