  • An Expert Web Designer Should Know How to Listen



You work with clients. Some of those are very stubborn and can cause you a thousand face palms. Some are so timid to the point where you can’t talk to them. Some are just okay. (And those ‘just okay’ ones don’t come often)
So you want to earn money from your clients? Well, I have a simple secret. It’s LISTENING. Yes, you just need listening to them. They want something changed in the design? Listen to them first, and humbly suggest input. They want you doing something you think is stupid? Ask them for the rationale first and then you tell them how you really feel.
See? The simplest thing you would ever do is listen. Remember, people want to talk. We all want to be heard, but nobody loves listening.
