I love giving myself and my clients gold stars every day that they’ve completed a workout – it feels really good.
Every year in consulting is like three years in the corporate world because you have multiple clients, multiple issues – you grow so much.
The ad industry thinks their clients are their customers. They think the companies who pay for the production are the ones they are supposed to serve. So the ads they produce make their clients happy… but infuriate the rest of us.
Sales teams use social media to generate leads and track clients as they move through the sales funnel. Operations and distribution teams forecast supply chains, while research and development squads brainstorm product ideas.

I was fresh off the boat from Romania, and one of my clients was the agent to all of the ’90s supermodels: Gail Elliott, Naomi Campbell, Stephanie Seymour, Cindy Crawford. I had no idea who these girls were! They were so gorgeous, absolutely the most beautiful women I have ever seen in my life.
It’s notoriously difficult to get actors to go on record speaking about other actors. Such requests are usually met with terse replies from publicists explaining that their clients are on set and too busy to reply.
New York state ethics rules prohibit lawyers from soliciting gifts from clients ‘for the benefit of the lawyer or a person related to the lawyer.’
I have so much fun because I love to meet the women who wear my shoes and meet the clients. That, to me, is the best part – getting to know the faces of the people who actually wear my shoes and getting to have a conversation with them.

I have no contracts with my clients; just a handshake is enough.

I was fresh from college and worked with my mum and even freelanced on my own with her team of people. I was young and had to face all kinds of tantrums from my clients. I was not disheartened.

I know what it feels like to represent clients who can’t get restraining orders on abusive partners.
My clients train hard. They don’t scream or throw weights – they just push hard, trying to get more out of themselves than their bodies want to give, trying to walk that terrible, beautiful line between controlled aggression and all-out insanity.
Red Interactive, the digital advertising agency, is a real, systemic kind of business, as opposed to a one-off thing. We can help advertisers frustrated by old media find clients they can work with.

Deloitte Catalyst is enabling Deloitte and our clients to more easily tap the power of innovation.
Fast food chains spend a large amount of marketing to get the attention of children. People form their eating habits as children so they try to nurture clients as youngsters.
It is interesting that I have gone through the process of representing clients as an ex-athlete. I am certainly not naive to think that the possibility of corruption isn’t there.
In legal practice, in the representation of clients, I have always felt deeply engaged, serene, and not all inclined to stand aside. I have always done whatever needed to be done, and have usually gotten my way.
The innovation of our workplace is key to the development of innovative solutions that address the evolving complex challenges of our clients.
And in my world, when I was dealing with this for our chemical company clients, you had lists of regulated hazardous materials, and things were permitted. And if you had a landfill and you had a permit, you had to comply with certain limits.
There have been some clients who have said, ‘In order to compete, I’m going to put a pool in and then sell the house.’ That’s a terrible idea.
I review all the riders for my music clients and make sure there’s healthy food and snack options, like strained yogurt, fresh berries, and lean protein.
Based on my pool of coached clients, 90% of the challenges for business owners exist in a lack of personal development.
I’d always been acutely sensitive to my surroundings – and aware that I could make them rather than just observe them. So I began by designing interiors for myself, for friends, for clients – I just felt that I’d discovered my element, and those who really looked at what I was doing liked it – and the rest followed.
Prior to the 2008 recession, many financial institutions were engaging in ‘proprietary lending,’ where a bank would invest funds for its own gain instead of earning revenue through commission by trading on behalf of clients.
Leave no stone unturned to help your clients realize maximum profits from their investment.
Sometimes living in a room that’s badly designed isn’t the worst thing in the world. Trust me – this is a fact! Living in a room that has no design whatsoever is even worse. I’ve learned this from my many clients over the years that have moved into new houses and just can’t figure out where to begin.
In the beginning, the clients would say, ‘This is too much,’ but over time, the ones I liked kept working with me. They’d say, ‘It’s not too much. Coco can still be Coco. She still gives 100 percent when she’s on a photo shoot.’
I’ve always been on the business side – running P&L and working with clients.
As a lawyer, I can assure you that a lot of document drafting is repetitive, involving cutting and pasting from templates. But the best lawyers bring a unique perspective to the process and anticipate clients’ problems.
While I tend to keep embellishment minimal as my clients often possess some of the finest jewellery, I enjoy creating ornamentation that appears like installations, to compliment the overall look.
The better job we do of getting the right fans in the right seats at the right time, the more money our clients are going to make.
I have learned to respect ideas, wherever they come from. Often they come from clients. Account executives often have big creative ideas, regardless of what some writers think.
There has to be some limit to what lawyers can take from their clients. Otherwise, cagey attorneys end up with the lion’s share of the settlement and the victims end up with little more than scraps.
Collaborating with startups and other technology companies can be very beneficial because it broadens the scope of services we offer to clients while allowing us to serve clients together.
In 1997, my father appointed me CEO but acted as player-coach, keeping busy on long-term clients such as KFC and international travel brands.
People are remarkably bad at remembering long lists of goals. I learned this at a professional level when trying to get my high-performance coaching clients to stay on track; the longer their lists of to-dos and goals, the more overwhelmed and off-track they got. Clarity comes with simplicity.
When the business really works is when we hear clients say, ‘I’ve never had jeans that fit me until I got a pair from Stitch Fix.’ We’ll also hear, ‘I would never have tried this dress on in a store.’ It’s not just about convenience. They’re happier in their clothes.
When I was growing up, I just saw my mother as a successful businesswoman and awesome mother, so I never really thought, ‘I can’t do it.’ I saw how she worked hard, served clients really well, was a great mum to us.
