It’s our job as designers to educate our clients on ‘how’ WE work. Be their guide throughout your process so they always feel seen and heard.</p> <p>Often we forget it might be their very first time using a designer—or at the very least it’s their first time working with you. They won’t know what to expect or how to behave.</p> <p>Your welcome guide is the perfect tool for gently yet clearly setting up all important boundaries and expectations—it is so much more than saying welcome aboard!</p> <p>It's one of the most powerful tools in your client management tool kit.</p> </div> </div> </div> <p>For full show notes <a href= "https://designandprosper.co/69-what-to-include-in-a-welcome-guide/"> click here</a><br /> <br /> For transcript <a href= "https://designandprosper.co/69-transcript-welcome-guide/" target= "_blank" rel="noopener">click here</a></p> <p>Much love<br /> Kris & Don xo</p> <p>- - - - - - </p> <p><strong>We have a new facebook group especially for our beloved podcast listeners! 🤗</strong><br /> <br /> You can join here:<br /> <a href= "https://www.facebook.com/groups/designandprosperpodcastcommunity" data-inline-card="" data-card-data= "">https://www.facebook.com/groups/designandprosperpodcastcommunity</a><br /> <br /> This little corner of the internet is your place to chat about the topics we share on the Design & Prosper podcast, ask
