"TRAVIS JOHNS: Hi. This is Travis Johns with Expert Village, and I'm going to be talking to you about preparing for a followup project. At the end of any project, you want to make sure that you're going to be getting more work out of the same client if it's at all possible. If it's a 3-minute video, if it's a 30-second piece of graph design, you want to make sure that they're happy with it, and if you have to do some work for them in the future that you've made preparations for this eventuality. For instance, if you have, say a 3-minute interview video, and you have certain kinds of transitions, certain kinds of lower thirds graphics that could possibly be used in future projects and you do another project for the same client, you want to make sure that those are easily accessible to you and if you've already got it, you don't have to recreate it. So, when they call you for a followup, you can quickly turn the same project around. You can focus on other areas of it to make it better and exceed their expectations the second time around. That way, you continue to maintain a relationship with them, hopefully, for many more projects to come."
