Get the Wordpress relationship working WordCamp Cape Town 2011 Client l.o.v.e. (without having sex, swearing together and sharing porn)
@jessello
First off, who are you dealing with? Malema? Gandhi? Lesher? Learn from your clients about what they know first. Who do you want to deal with?
The second most important irritation is knowing that you are not telling them something. Open up, very wide, with clients. Otherwise you’ll end up in this picture… So know you know them and they know you. Perfect.
Another thing clients hate? Unclear stuff. Very firm and clear, otherwise FTW.
But the greatest irritation from clients is not knowing what the Malema you are talking about. Educate them.
