Your job is to really listen and obtain their trust. I don’t prepare at all for first appointments. They should leave liking you because you’re a likeable trustworthy person. If you start with Beta and Sharpe ratios you’ll lose them pretty quickly. I don’t research how to fix a car before I get my car fixed. I need to trust the guy or I don’t. Take good care of me put my interests first and don’t rip me off. This is always true

Throughout my career, I have worked at both “traditional” and “digital” shops. My current agency would fall under traditional but also offers digital services. Our process, roles and skillsets seem way outdated but I wasn’t sure if it was just my opinion or if this is just how it works. For example, we have no CTO or tech leads. Our digital producers feel more like project managers than actual producers. Account Management is just traditional, no real digital knowledge. Feels layered and dated.
