Bad Advice 4: Interfere with the contractor's work

Post by Sumona1030 »

Sometimes, even after discussing all the details and agreeing on the terms of cooperation, the client interferes with the contractors' work and suggests new ideas and platforms. They want to be on trend or rely on their own vision to solve the problem, but this only hinders the collaboration. In this case, it's best to suggest rather than insist—if the SMM specialist convincingly states that an idea isn't suitable, it's better to trust them.

SMM specialists are better positioned to determine which platforms to use for promotion and what content to fill them with, drawing on their experience and expertise. Collaboration is most productive when contractors are deeply involved in the company's workflow, rather than the other way around.

Bad advice 5. Make all decisions collectively.
Often, to evaluate the agency's proposed grenada cell phone database content plans and promotion strategies, clients ask even employees with no relevant expertise—for example, the finance director, secretary, or HR manager—to weigh in. This seems to provide an objective assessment of the contractors' ideas. But in practice, it has the opposite effect: it distorts the perspective of the responsible employees and prolongs the discussion and approval of ideas.

It's best to ask for feedback only from employees responsible for communicating with the SMM agency, or to trust the specialists if they provide reasons for their decision.

To summarize
Social media is a useful tool for a company to communicate with its audience. If a company doesn't maintain social media, it loses potential clients and complicates communication with its audience. Sometimes it's easier and faster for a client to find a company's social media page or contact technical support via messenger than to call a hotline or visit the official website. There are two solutions to this problem: hiring a specialist in-house or using outsourced services—agencies or freelancers.
