QC via repeats
One of the best quality control tests for your operation is repeat
business. A customer called at the last minute to record a concert. I had a conflict but supplied three options for substitutes: a "real" studio that also does very good location work, a fellow that specializes in location work (as I do), and a hobbyist who does OK work real cheap. They chose the studio, were pleased with the result, but still called me today to schedule the next concert recording. Not posting this to brag, but if your customers don't come back, you don't stay in business long. Contact them and ask why they went elsewhere. If they tell you (and some won't) it may improve your operation. |

If they tell you (and some won't) it may improve your operation. As part of my proposal, which when signed becomes the contract for the project, I include a wrap-up meeting with the client to discuss their overall satisfaction with the project, what they think might be improved on their end, what they think might be improved on my end, my overall satisfaction with the project, what I think might be improved on their part, and what I think might be improved on my part to achieve an even more successful outcome on the NEXT job. Do that, and even uncomfortable issues during production become forgotten in the mutual comittment to an improvement process. Of course some screw-ups by a production company are unforgivable, and some clients are more trouble than they are worth. Hopefully both are non-existent or rare in your world. Steve King |
