See Through Their Eyes: How to Anticipate The Needs of Your Clients

Stuart Broz 4 July 2010
Type:  Session in official program

If you build Drupal sites for others, you've run into differences in vision. Your understanding of a client's needs might be imperfect. A client might make assumptions about what Drupal can easily do and not mention major functionality that they are expecting. This session will concentrate on helping you see achieve a shared vision. This will increase both your efficiency and your client's satisfaction.

This session will focus on opening your mind to the point of view of your clients. Whether you are working for a non-profit, a corporation, or your mom... we will cover some tricks that will help you understand what they want even if they can't explain it to you in Drupalspeak.

Ultimately, the aim of this session is to help you build skills that will enable you to understand your client's desires. Your clients get the Drupal site that they want. Your save time and energy (and money and aggravation) while you build it. This leaves both you and your client happy.

A method for getting early estimates right

Jakob Persson 4 July 2010
Type:  Session in official program

Almost all clients who approach your agency about a project want to know up front what the total cost will be. They hand you some loose notes and expect a fixed number of hours or price. To many this presents an impossible task. What is often forgotten is that an exact estimate isn't expected. What you need to produce is one that is accurate enough to close the sale. In this session you'll learn a method for producing early estimates to support your sales process.
