We constantly analyze why certain projects succeed while others fall short. Understanding what works and what doesn’t is crucial for any business aiming to grow. By identifying patterns and learning from rejections, we refine our strategies, improve our processes, and ultimately increase our chances of winning future opportunities. It’s not just about avoiding failure; it’s about turning insights into actionable growth.

When dealing with big companies, terms of payment (TOP) aren’t something you can negotiate easily. They have their own rules, processes, and timelines that even we can’t bargain with. Frustrating? Sometimes. But that’s the cost of playing the game with giants. Instead of fighting it, we’ve learned to adapt. Managing cash flow, planning ahead, and being realistic about what we can control have saved us countless headaches. Sometimes, you just have to let go of the illusion of control and focus on what you can manage.

Repeat clients? It’s not a secret formula, it’s human connection. Over the years, we’ve learned that clients return not just because of the outcome but because of the experience they had working with us. It’s about how we treated their brand, how we handled their concerns, and whether they felt we were truly in it together. Every project is a chance to show clients that they’re more than a contract to us. And when they feel that? They’re no longer clients, they’re partners. And partners always come back.

Cashflow issues often stem from long payment terms. As service providers, we often “nalangin” projects, covering costs out of pocket to keep things moving. While we can’t always fully control terms of payment (TOP), understanding and negotiating better payment structures can help. Stay tuned for our next clip where we’ll share tips on managing and mitigating this challenge effectively🤝

For those working in or owning boutique agencies in Indonesia, consider sharing project case studies or valuable insights to inspire potential clients. Constantly pushing sales oriented content can feel repetitive and fail to set you apart. Instead, highlight your expertise and creativity by showcasing unique solutions you’ve delivered. This not only differentiates you but also builds trust, especially since we all know how talented and high quality Indonesian creative workers truly are.

Getting leads through digital marketing is actually simple, but many tend to overcomplicate it. Leads don’t always come from paid activities, sometimes, it’s as straightforward as creating content that goes viral, which can naturally attract potential clients and collaborations. The key is to focus on content distribution. Be present everywhere, create consistently, and the more visible you are, the more likely people will engage and trust your expertise.

We thought a lot before choosing this topic because it’s a bit sensitive. But we decided to go for it since we genuinely want to help and share something that might be useful for you.
