Has a client brought a job that you don't have the skill to do it? How did you manage it?

[Kross]

No one knows everything absolutely. For some persons doing businesses that have to do with certain skills, there might be some level to which your knowledge is not up to yet. Has a customer brought a job that you are sure you can't do? Your skills and knowledge is not up to that level. How did you manage that situation? How can a person generally manage that kind of situation?

In cases like that l would hire experts for that work and take my commission for sure.

You dare not tell the client that you can't do the job. Take the job and outsource or you tell them you won't have chance.

I can just imagine the scenario. I won't turn down the job. That's an opportunity to learn something and advance my skills.

 

[King Belieal]

It is at this point that the power of collaboration would come to play. I would reach out to people that are better than me and use that opportunity to learn.

 

[Fidelia]

I love my kind of work. No matter how complex a design is, if you follow it closely, it might take you time but you would be able to do it.

Emphasize your willingness to learn and your commitment to delivering a quality result, even if it requires a different approach.

 

[Kera]

You can actually learn everything you want to learn and deliver that work if you are deliberate about delivering it.

Whenever a person gives me w job, before giving a feedback, or accepting the job, i always ensure that i can do it. In a situation where I can't, i let them know immediately.

If you're facing a situation where you feel you lack the necessary skills, focus on identifying what those skills are and then taking steps to acquire them.

There are days when a client will bring you work and you feel like they are speaking the language of Mars. Then don't force yourself to ruin the better name, tell the truth and connect with someone who can.

If you admit you don't know but you are willing to learn or help in other ways, people will respect you more. That is local growth, not weakness. Refuse to ruin the better work, play with your mind.

 

[Min George]

I have admitted to a client that I don't know how to do a particular job. I always refer someone in my field that can do the job to such clients.

 

[King Belieal]

I don't know how to do the job. That's what I tell them and they respect by honesty.

You can relate with other professional or skilled people in the industry so that they can show you what to do
