In my freelance career, I have met a few types of clients out of 1000 I have worked with…
Well… there are 3 main types of clients I have met all these days… I have to admit I have had some huff & puff clients as well as easy peacy to work with ones. And there’s the hardest… OVERWELMED once… don’t get me started on them…
The easy peacy clients
- Gives the brief and the necessary files to create the design.
- Discuss how the design needs to be done.
- I send the draft design in a day or two.
- Changes or modifications done according to the client’s feedback.
- Finalize & deliver the project.
The may be, may be not clients
- Gives the brief.
- Discuss how the design needs to be done.
- And ALAS!!!! Forgets to send the necessary details.
- Have doubts about the design concepts.
- The draft design changes more than 5 times.
- And it’s gets to the final design.
(In my experience, the client always loves the first design). - Finalize & deliver the project.
The overwhelmed clients
- Gives the brief.
- Discuss how the design needs to be.
- Sends me necessary details and more details.
- And the client starts to give you so many ideas & concepts.
- There comes the trouble, too many ideas and sticking to 2 or 3 design concepts is so hard.
- After much discussion, 3 concept designs are selected and the process moves forward.
- More discussions as the process goes on to select one concept.
- The final concept is selected and the last stages of the design continue.
- Finalize & deliver the project.
These are a few clients I have met and I have a few more types of clients that are sub categories of the above mentioned.
