Be in your client's world
The printing industry is a great industry and a great community. But sometimes we all get too wrapped up in what we do. We sometimes forget that it's all about our clients.
Our clients are generally not that interested in print. They are usually not bothered about the pain and the processes that we go through in order to make sure jobs are delivered on time and that they're high quality.
Our clients are interested in what we can do for their business
We should focus on that, rather than the world of print. Then we have a far better chance of having worthwhile conversations with them. We have a far better chance of selling them more print.
