This Office Hours focuses on what to expect from a one on one agency meeting and how to approach agency relationships and rate increases. The group advises the meeting is usually about fitting the agency values and being a personable conversationalist, with questions that show you understand their focus such as diversity and inclusion and being clear about AI preferences and your setup. A major Q&A also covers negotiating repeat client rates, emphasizing new year new rates, considering time and usage, and being prepared to potentially lose a client if the increase does not work. Example details include a 45 minute meeting, a budget cap of up to 99 on Voices, and ideas like offering a repeat rate lower than new client rates while defining revisions and usage.
