January 2009 Nitty Gritty Teleforum Topic:

Managing Client Revisions

Client revisions, last minute changes and ever-changing schedules. As long as our design clients are people, these challenges will never go away. But why do they drive some of us crazy while other designers seem to have smooth sailing with a stable of dream clients? Join us to learn how, why and when to start managing client revisions and how you can gently and effectively train your clients and bring sanity back to your design business. Join Pam Bryan at the Nitty-Gritty and learn:

• Different methods for estimating and charging for revisions
• Top Ten Gems of Wisdom for Handling Revisions
• Tips for handling difficult clients when it all goes wrong
• Understand why you tolerate bad client behavior
