30fg Business Podcast For Designers

Getting new clients can be difficult, particularly if you don’t have any demonstrated experience in the particular area of design that you’re hoping to be involved in. This is a problem that all designers face at some time or another, whether it’s the freelancer looking for their first gig, or a well established design firm that wants to shift their focus, brand and reputation to another area of the market altogether. In this interview you'll get to spend some time with Andrew Boyne, a freelance architect who shares his refreshing down-to-earth perspective on how to get yourself that first gig (or early gigs). We talk about his own experiences as well as possible approaches you could try to either gain the trust of a potential client to boost your chances of them giving you a break, or how you might analyze the objections the same client might have in order to determine a course of action to overcome them.
