Drupal Camp Asheville 2021 Online Edition - July 8th-9th
There are a lot of things to do and remember in the age of automation. Meetings, classes, appointments... Let's learn how to take a load off your brain and into your personal cloud.

Case studies are great sales tools. But how many times have you gotten ready to submit a pitch, and realized you were missing case studies for the projects you want to highlight?

“Go Away and Come Back Tomorrow” - that’s what the man at the gate to the Emerald City said to Dorthy and her companions in the Wizard of Oz. Every inaccessible site is essentially putting a face at the door that yells “Go Away” to nearly 20% of the US and Canadian populations.

Estimations are the baseline of every project. If you will perform unreliable estimates subsequently it will lead you and your team to burn the midnight oil or work over the weekends to meet timelines. We have practiced beautifully to take both project timelines and work-life balance seriously.

High demands, high anxiety clients are a reality of agency life. Their stresses, deadlines, and sometimes lack of understanding of the technology can create tension and take a project (or the client relationship) off track. Together we’ll discuss common challenges and the strategies that satisfy the clients need while insulating your team; allowing them to be more effective.
