Quality content, as always, Ran! So true what you say about all of us needing to define our own red flags! So helpful, cheers! 👍

Loved this, will keep it in mind. Thanks a ton, Ran!

Great advice, I like your idea of a personalised framework rather than a checklist. I never thought about communication style in terms of notifications vs emails, day vs night. I'm similar to you - I prefer email during business hours. Great idea to communicate this to the client!

Great vídeo Ran, fantastic explanation and that note on writing down the values and the OS it’s a great idea

Fantastic video.

This is great. I am having a client (not sure if it's gonna last) that has really good reviews and communicate upfront and very responsive, willing to adjust the schedule a bit to match mine. But I felt so stressed until now, I can tell that he is a person who is busy, prefer fast work pace, rather communicate during a video call than sending message. I don't hate video calls but it is so hard for me to follow especially at the beginning, when I have no idea of the project and he has all the background info in his head and speak so fast. His schedule was 3 main flows of the mobile app UI in a week which I think it's impossible for me (really have no idea how this team works so far). So I wouldn't say he is a bad client, he is actually a nice person but I am not sure if we are going to fit. Let's see!

The explanation was very very good and useful👌👏👍

it was good sub to your channel. a lot of good value given. thank you

Nice to have clear expectations

i wanted to add about red flags... had two clients on different ocations, on different social mediam had the same exact communication problem... tons of red flags, both asked for free sample, both changed their mind after the price was involved... the reason im sayng this, is guess i had to be a bit more spesific on what i was looking for on youtube... but its more about communication red flags...

Great video Ran, PS the sibilance on your mic is a bit harsh

I just have a question and I hope it’s fine with you. First, thank you for sharing your knowledge with us. I love and learn so much with your video. Is content still king for Google on a website or even a landing page? From what i’m seeing, it’s all about animation, big hero images and video…. Very little content. I am in the process of re-designing my website completely and I am questioning myself about it. Is the visual more important for the UX than content nowadays? My existing landing page rank, since a few years, on the first page of a google search with what I would consider a healthy dose of content….. Thanks

I haven't had clients yet - a total newbie here- but applying for different places, one thing I hated and it happened only once, was that they couldn't say no. I hate it when they keep on delaying an appointment/decision/etc. It could have been because they just didn't want it (which makes me think they were so unprofessional to not be able to reject decisively) or because they were really bad at managing their time/project.

Just had a bad experience two months ago. New client phoned to say his site had gone down could I fix it. Took me all of two minutes. Texted and emailed to discuss the issues no call back didn't respond to my emails. I charge a nominal fee for all one-off ad hoc jobs. I've a good mine to invoice him but no doubt it would be ignored. When he eventually gets in touch I'm looking forward to telling him that I can't help him.

The advice on writing down what pisses you off is gold - I find myself getting pissed off, acknowledging why and moving on but writing it down sure would help. I remember I had an interview lined up before I had my current role and their communication was terrible; they moved interviews countless times, expected me to change my plans to fit their schedule and then one day it looked like the interview was going to happen, then five minutes before it was due they moved it and said the creative director was unavailable. I told them I was no longer interested given their lack of respect for my time.

I want the Video That was before 😜

I would like to know how to say "no" to potential clients. I come from commission sales, so I can sell, and it's hard for me not to sell. Sometimes I find that I feel red flags but continue to sell. By the end the potential client says "that all sounds great! when can we start?" and I don't know how to say "Nah, this doesn't feel right with me... peace" and then hang up... Most of the time it's not a BRIGHT RED flag, like they are not in the budget, but more like two yellow flags so I don't have a good reason to say no. Anyone else feel this way sometimes?

How do we schedule a 1 on 1 with you?

Do you work with clients from Israel?

Haha love that vegan mention, if only it wasnt shooting myself in the foot if I only worked with other vegans hahaha
