If you are going to be working with a client for the first time, there are all sorts of issues that need to be addressed. Since we typically serve as CXO (Chief Executive Officers, Chief Operating Officers, Chief Financial Officers, Chief Research Officers), we understand these concerns. Which includes the near abject terror a client may experience putting his baby in our hands. (Even if you are not serving as CXO, they are entrusting you to achieve some success on a part – or all- of the project that they themselves can’t effect [which is why they hired you.]) It is our job- and yours- to help allay such fears.
