    <title>The nGen Works Blog: What Do Clients Want From Us Anyway?</title>
    <link>http://www.ngenworks.com/blog/detail/what_do_clients_want_from_us_anyway/</link>
    <description>Often what you think you&apos;re selling to a client is just a commodity. What they are buying is something entirely different. At nGen Works what customers buy is peace of mind.</description>

Douglas is my middle name. J. Douglas sounds more like a writer's name. And since I'm not a real writer, every little bit helps.]]></content:encoded>

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[Ironic...

I'm being totally serious here. Clients that spend a certain amount with us get a spa package as a surprise. No lie! 

Which reminds me, I better call PV Inn & Club. My Ponte Vedra client is due for hers. It's been a good month.

What do I buy the dudes? Steak of course.]]></content:encoded>

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[@ Kevin, We've definitely been accused of charging Spa prices, but we do watch the hours. One thing we make sure of is we never let the budget get in the way of a good idea. An overbearing client on the other hand, that's a different matter entirely.]]></content:encoded>

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[I hope you're charging hourly for those spa treatments. I have one client that insists he be on the phone with me throughout the entire process, micromanaging me to the nth degree (it's for a web app for screen sharing/meetings/collaboration, so yep, he even watches my screen sometimes).

It doesn't bother me, because I'm charging hourly and I get to watch the clock tick away while he tells jokes :)]]></content:encoded>
