“If you do these seven things, you’re going to lose your photo and video clients, I guarantee it.”

Photographer Jay P. Morgan from The Slanted Lens made this short video to discuss 7 ways to lose clients. Obviously Morgan doesn’t want anyone to lose their clients, but he does want photographers to understand just how easy it is to lose a client and to try to avoid doing it.

Here are Morgan’s 7 ways that you can lose clients:

1. Don’t have any idea what your client wants.
2. There is no reason to worry about your client and how they’re feeling.
3. When things aren’t going well technically, you have to focus and concentrate on that.
4. Just give them what they want and get done.
5. There is no reason to post the images on social media or share them with your following.
6. There is no reason to deliver the images until the client has called 2 or 3 times.
7. The job is done and you have your money. Don’t worry about following up with the client.
