Always under promise and over deliver. Client retention is the name of the game, because it leads to long-term relationships and referrals.
Q6. Who is your favorite copywriter & why?
Daniel Throssell is as unique as they come. He has a very distinctive style that can’t be copied.
Q7. Do you have any recent wins to share?
I launched a joint-venture project with a client of mine this year – a print newsletter – in the financial services space. Sharing in the revenue as Editor-in-Chief.
Q8. What would you say to a prospective client who wants to hire you?
I rarely take on new clients. And when I do, I have to make sure it’s a good fit for me in terms of work flow, expectations, and subject matter. When I take a client on, I like to develop a long-term relationship that helps them grow their bottom-line. If I don’t feel like I can do that, I’ll recommend them to someone else.
Q9. What is a good email address for prospective clients to contact you?
