Ep.018 – Scott Fuller – Lessons on Loyalty, Craft, and Clients Who Become Family
Manage episode 520316583 series 3680692
What do world-class logo design, Junior Olympic table tennis, and a mythical quest for the perfect Boo-Berry cereal have in common? Only Scott Fuller could tie them all together and somehow make it all practical, hilarious, and surprisingly heartfelt.
In this episode, branding expert Scott Fuller lets us into his world: how he turns every client into a friend for life, why he’ll only trust barbers with beards “ten times better than his,”. We also get into the secret sauce behind how Scott instantly makes clients feel understood (sometimes in just a five-minute call).
Along the way you'll hear:
- How to win a significantly higher percentage of clients (no salesy systems involved).
- How to increase your repeat customers (clients that come back over and over create consistent income and are the secret to longevity as a freelancer).
- How Scott builds trust faster than most designers send a proposal.
- Creative South memories that forged lifelong friendships.
- How to create iconic logos and branding by viewing the design process through a unique frame.
If you’ve ever wondered how great creatives build bonds, find their people, or obsess over something as deeply as Scott obsesses over his beard… this episode is your new favorite.
