To me, that whole call might be one of the most valuable videos ever on this channel! So good!
Glad to hear it!
Agree!
Agree!!
Made my first purchase from the The Futur today. Pre-order. I work solo right now, making short vids. I want to get more clients and eventually manage a small team.
How’s it going?
I love that you guys finally added cc to your videos. I can now share your videos with people who's first language is not English because Google will translate the cc. So thank you so much!
We can’t always do it. But we try
That last bit resonates with me. If business fails, I can work for someone else. That's exactly my mindset now. I refuse to take on bad clients. They're not worth it. I'd rather get a job.
Absolutely amazing, how valuable and important this stuff is. It's answering questions that I'm asking myself every day since starting my creative studio. You and your guest literally saved me months if not years of learning this a hard way. Thank you!
Great episode! I feel like the background track competed with the vocals. I would recommend turning the track down a few db’s but really great overall :)
Noted!
The Futur it really wasn’t that bad there where just a few times when David was talking where i noticed most. Chris’s levels on top where pretty great. Overall fantastic work :)
Greetings from Philippines... Thank you very much The Futur for another new valuable content!!!
Glad you like them!
@@thefutur Always! Send my regards to Chris and everybody, please. I hope he'll visit the Philippines again.
The key thing is “helping” current clients.
This video is quite insightful, and has really helped me with putting past mistakes and future direction in right perspective. Hoping that through these hard times my (and many of thefutur community members) business would grow!
Great video, thank you!
I would like to say that in my personal opinion the music in the background is quite to loud.
Again thank you for all your work!
Awesome episode. Loved the Q&A ❤️❤️
This is just what I needed to hear today 💯
Intesting way he sorts that all out in a simple text flow, this though just in my mind but I never try to illustrate it.
Nice advice
Hey Chris ... can you share what problem did you have while expanding ? I wanna know what happens when you try to keep up with feeding the machine and keeping the team filled up with client ...coz all i was thinking was that was my goal...bt you said it leads to falling in a trap...i would love to hear your perspective on this
yes. the more people you have on your team, the more you have take on new work to support the team. your ability to say 'No' diminishes. then, it's a matter of feeding the machine.
Fantastic
Thank you so much 😀
Law of diminishing returns
Sales is like dating... 😂. I had a client once tell me “Your asking me to sleep with you on the first date.” 🤷♂️
Don’t try to close too quick.
@@thefutur this was back in 2016. 😂
