Run a Profitable, Successful Design Business

DESCRIPTION

Design Assembly is delighted to present design and advertising account management expert Sarah Ritchie for this half-day business workshop in Auckland.

Are you a self-employed designer? A design agency account manager? Or do you run a small design agency? You'll know that maintaining great client relationships is just as important as producing great design work to guarantee financial success — but working with clients and ensuring your work remains profitable can be two of the biggest challenges you'll face. In this fully-interactive workshop we'll hit the issues head-on and tackle the tough questions that YOU want to ask. The power is in your hands!

You may like to know:

How to quote a project accurately
How to charge by 'value' rather than by 'hours' to maximise profitability
How to avoid time blowouts on projects
How to tell if 'urgent' really is 'urgent'
How to work with contractors and still make a profit
How to balance design aesthetics with client demands
How to deal with difficult clients
How to make sure you get paid
How to manage long-term projects
How to handle a reactive and unpredictable work environment.

It's up to you! Send in your burning questions with your registration and we will answer as many as possible during the workshop.
