Last week was my first face to face client meeting… not being the client. I traveled alone, met and worked with the client alone (except for some here and there support from an EXTREMELY busy Sr. Account Manager) and conducting sessions with the client alone. The result from the client’s (horse’s?) mouth. “This is the best project we have going with you guys.”. Ah was that soooo great to hear!
I believe that my background working on the client side has enabled me to have empathy for the client while also having an awareness and knowledge of what is going on in the agency. I’ve decided that I enjoy both realms so far, and really just focus my choices on the types of work that come.
First client trip: Check! Let’s see what’s next :-).
