Harpreet says, there is a thin line between what you give to your clients and what your clients expect from you. Learn to say no, if a client doesn’t come under your wavelength and is not understanding you. For a good sense of humor, you’ll have to start saying NO and select your clients wisely. If you don’t do so, you’ll have a tough time dealing with these clients.

Harpreet says, if you show your best work to your client, you will surely close the deal but he’ll keep comparing his own wedding to your best work. Your favorite work has become your favorite work out of 100s of weddings you have shot. Be honest with your clients, and state to them the reasons why your best work became your best work.
