DSVC Presents :: Working Lunch

Selling the Idea – How to Pitch Your Work to Clients JAN 19 – Sometimes creating the great concept is easier than getting the client to recognize that the concept is indeed great. For our January Working Lunch we have assembled a panel of expert creatives who have learned the secrets of successfully presenting creative work to clients. Join us as they explore questions like:

• What are some of the biggest mistakes you have made or seen others make when presenting concepts to clients?
• How do you go about preparing for a client presentation?
• How do you deal with client fears about a novel approach?
• What is the most effective presentation you have ever made?
• What is the biggest presentation disaster of which you have been a part?
• Have you had to present in teams and how is that different than presenting as an individual?
• What concept was extremely difficult to get the client to buy into but ultimately proved a winner?
• In what ways have you improved or changed in your approach to client presentations?
• What advice would you give to new designers on how to present their designs and persuade clients?
