This is some great advice Courtney! I like the idea of thinking of yourself as a consultant, not a service provider. We should be looking for mutually beneficial partnerships, which means we need to communicate with and educate the client as much as possible.

Right on, Courtney! Our clients need some patient, careful education, and it’s our job to give it to them. We shouldn’t blame them for their lack of understanding of what we’re doing.

I’m including a quote from your article in my Friday Round-up of “Great Marketing Quotes”.

Hi Courtney, I agree to your opinion.

Imparting knowledge to the client and understanding their requirements is vital for every project.

As you said, “Produce lots of content – and then produce some more!”, I too believe that blogging is a great way to educate our clients. As it is practically impossible to interact with all the clients on a regular basis, a blog bridges the gape between us and our clients.
