I Wish I Could Say This to Clients When We Miss a Deadline

Things you wanted to say to frustrating clients, but didn’t.

“We are having the same issues with employees as your company.”

I’d like to say this when we miss a deadline because we can’t find employees at the time. Hiring and retaining employees are real problems being experienced by everyone these days, including you.

Woulda Coulda Shouldas are collected from the Signs of the Times Brain Squad and shared anonymously.

What’s the Brain Squad?

If you’re the owner or top manager of a signage and graphics company in the US or Canada, you’re invited to join the Signs of the Times Brain Squad. By taking one five-minute survey each month, you will receive access to some of the industry’s freshest data on sales — including your fellow members’ comments on what’s selling and what isn’t — and can make your voice heard on key issues affecting the sign industry. Sound good? Sign up here.
