Intelligent Clients

[WageSlave]

It seems every client is an idiot and every office is consumed by petty politics. But surely, between us, there must have been an occasional good experience. Has anyone ever encountered a good client? One that is intelligent, focused, prepared to listen and get behind the work that needs to be done?

I have to confess, for my part such a client exists only in fairy tales. I’ve to meet any client remotely matching that description.

Yes I have.

Had clients who while wanting something done were prepared to listen if it could not be done within their budget; even got some more dosh allowing it to be done.

Mind you one ends up being a little bit of a diplomat.

I had one Nottingham-based energy client who was quite good, but it was due to individuals more than anything else: my PM and his boss.

Basically who you work for directly is going to greatly affect your perception of the client's intelligence big time

My current clients are great. In fact they were brilliant five years ago when I first did a project for them.

Paco, I think they're looking for contractors again if you're interested.
