I would be curious to hear how your perspective has changed 6 months later and if there are any additional trends you see in the marketplace? As important as it is for a client to commit to a long-term campaign, the problem with our industry is that there are so many vendors snatching up these clients and treating them badly so that their perception is that we are all the same. Then, they are truly uncomfortable when they meet someone with credibility who makes the same promises but can actually deliver. We have found much more success offering a 6 month campaign where we demonstrate success and then grow into a more complex, longer relationship by delivering value and proving ROI based on agreed upon metrics.

Glad to see you are settling on a solid process and im 100% sure clients and customers will see much more benefit and value from this approach.
