About this listen

Your team keeps asking the same questions about client preferences, and you keep answering from memory. Every interruption costs you 5-20 minutes of focused work. By the end of the week, you've spent 10+ hours being a human database instead of doing creative work.

According to Function Fox, 79% of creative agencies over-service clients without proper documentation. But the real cost isn't just free work—it's the cognitive load of remembering unique preferences for every client without a system.

WHAT YOU'LL LEARN:

  • Why undocumented client preferences make you the bottleneck for every decision
  • The "question trap" and how context switching steals 10 hours weekly
  • How to build Client Playbooks that save hours and ensure consistency
  • The 5 essential sections: Communication, Scope, Brand Voice, Approvals, and Quirks
  • A 90-day plan to document all your active clients

FEATURED RESOURCE: Download free client templates, the Future You Framework, and the Client Onboarding Toolkit at https://dustinpead.com/free

Brené Brown said it best: "Clear is kind. Unclear is unkind." When you force your team to guess at client preferences, you're being unkind to everyone—including yourself.
