In this brief monologue, the speaker emphasizes that agencies should treat client businesses as if they were their own, especially when marketing results dip. He advocates for full transparency—directly informing clients when performance is underwhelming rather than hiding behind reports or metrics. The speaker stresses the importance of presenting a concrete improvement plan to demonstrate competence and maintain trust. Drawing on 9–10 years of freelancing experience with long‑standing clients, he notes that results naturally fluctuate in waves, and consistent, honest communication during downturns strengthens long‑term relationships.

Chapters

We try treat businesses that work with us like they're our own. And if results are not there, we want them to know that too. We don't wanna hide behind reports, we don't wanna hide behind metrics or fudge numbers. We wanna actually go to them, tell them results are not going as good as they should be, and give them a plan of what we're planning to do to, I guess, improve. 9, 10 years ago when I was freelancing, we've still got those clients today. And over those 9, 10 years, it's not like results have just constantly gone up. And you'll see that in business, results aren't always going up. They go in waves, and when that happens, coming to the business with a plan, telling them it's down, telling them you're on it, you know what you're doing, this is what we're going to do about it, builds trust over time.
