Agency Success with GigRadar

🎯 Feedback Mastery

Your reputation isn't just about doing great work - it's about controlling how contracts close and feedback is handled.

Your reputation isn't just about doing great work - it's about controlling how contracts close and feedback is handled.

The feedback conversation: Don't wait for feedback to happen. Close every contract with an explicit conversation: I'm going to close this contract now - would you be open to leaving feedback? It shows professionalism and gives you control.

Before closing a contract:

  • Confirm the client is satisfied with the deliverable
  • Address any lingering concerns proactively
  • Explain what your ideal feedback looks like (without scripting them)
  • Ask if they have ongoing needs before the contract ends

Handling negative feedback:

  • Respond publicly, calmly, and professionally
  • Acknowledge their concern without being defensive
  • Offer a resolution in your public response
  • A good response to bad feedback often impresses future clients more than no bad feedback

Homework
