Cultivating Patience: Key to Building Strong Client Relationships


Hello, Reader, πŸ‘‹

Welcome to another issue of the Visual Storytelling Mastery Newsletter.
​

Today I wanted to write about Patience.
​
Patience is a crucial virtue that holds immense value.
​
When we lack patience, it can indirectly project an aura of desperation and unfavorability.

To cultivate patience, I find it helpful to imagine myself in the shoes of the client.
​
By empathizing with their perspective, I develop a deeper understanding of their circumstances and needs, which in turn allows me to cultivate patience.

Allow me to share an example from my own experience.
​
I once had a very distinguished brand name client who took nearly two months from the moment they informed me about the job to the point where they finally brought me on board.
​
It required a considerable amount of patience on my part.

However, the wait proved to be worthwhile, as it played a significant role in building a strong foundation for our working relationship.
​
Patience became one of the key factors that endeared them to me and fostered our successful collaboration.

In summary, patience is an invaluable quality to possess.
​
It not only prevents us from appearing desperate but also enables us to forge deeper connections with our clients.
​
By understanding our client's perspectives and being willing to wait, we can achieve the rewards of a fruitful and enduring professional partnership.
​
Also, sometimes the bigger the company is the longer it may take for them to make a decision.
​
Being patient and understanding may be the quality they are just looking for. πŸ™‚

Hello, Reader, πŸ‘‹ Regarding editing, especially for luxury brands, less is always more. The focus should be on the product and the message. It uses simple, subtle graphics, clean transitions like soft cuts and dissolves, and minimal animations. We want to enhance the message, tell a story, and showcase the product without distraction. Keeping the editing style clean and minimalistic allows the audience to engage fully with the luxury brand's offerings. It creates a sense of sophistication and...

After completing the project, the client was not thrilled with the final result. They felt I should have...
