Citra Raya (It's not how good you are, it's how good you want to be Part 9)



WHAT DO YOU DO 
WHEN YOUR CLIENT WON’T BUY

Do it his way. Then do it your way



A CLIENT often has a fair idea of what he wants. If you show him what you want and not what he wants, he’ll say that’s not what he asked for. If, however, you show he what he wants first, he is then relaxed and is prepared to look at what you want to sell him. You’ve allowed him  become magnanimous instead of putting him in a corner. Give him what he wants and he may well give you what you want. There is also the possibility that he may be right. 



DON’T TAKE NO FOR AN ANSWER

For three months we worked on our campaign. WE HAD been pitching for a sizeable and important 

government account. We were in competition with five other companies.

Then at 5 pm one Wednesday evening we were told we were not on the shortlist of three. 
The client gave reasons why 

We didn’t have another campaign.

Normally we say, well tough, on to the next one. Not this time. I went to our chief executive and 

said,  ‘Call the client to tell him that we have another campaign prepared. Say you’ll be in his office with it 

at 9am tomorrow morning.’

But by 8am the next morning we had a completely new concept addressing the negatives he had   
found In the first one.  At 9am it was presented.

On Friday evening we heard we had won the business.

It was a good weekend.

Citra Raya (It's not how good you are, it's how good you want to be Part 8)



KNOW YOUR CLIENT’S AIMS


MOST clients are corporate people protecting their own mortgagesThey mistakenly see ideas as a risk rather than an advancement to their careers. Therefore their motivation may be quite different from their brief to you. Find out what the client’s real objective is. All clients aspire to status. It may be their desire to become a member of the New York Yacht Club or the Jockey Club. 

Or to be seen at the best table at Le Cirque or the Ivy.
Or a patron of the arts.
To be chairman of the company.
Owner of  a football club.
Or simply a butterfly collector.





These aspirations will never be put into the brief, of course.
For six months we worked on a government scheme devised to help school leavers get jobs.
The best people in the agency worked with passion to the help solve a social problem.
The resulting work was marvelous, and there was a lot of it.

We had failed to understand, not the brief, the politics that lay behind it.
All the minister wanted was for the public to know he was spending x millions on adversiting for the scheme. To let people know he was doing something about it.
It was a PR exercise for him.
It had nothing at all to do with humanity.

Part 6 Link


DON'T PROMISE WHAT YOU CAN'T DELIVER

When selling our ideas, we tend to overpromise in our enthusiasm for our creation. In our vision of how we hope it will be, we leave no room for failure. The result will probably be disastrous, but a little less than expected.
No one will say anything, they just won't trust you quite as much next time. Basically you've blown it. If i instead you undersell, pointing out the possible weaknesses and how to resolve them, should they occur, you are not only building a trusting relationship with your client but you're able to solve any problems.
And if it does turn out the way you hoped, it is a bonus.
