Definitely agree on transparency being key. I've found clients often assume the person they first meet is handling everything personally. Clarifying roles early prevents misunderstandings later—though some clients still seem wary of subcontractors no matter how clear you are...
I've noticed the same hesitation from clients, even after clearly explaining subcontractor roles. Wonder if it's more about trust or past experiences they've had... Have you found any particular approach helps ease their concerns? I'm still experimenting myself.
I've encountered similar client reservations, and from my experience, it often boils down to their past negative experiences or simply uncertainty about accountability. One approach that's helped me is providing detailed case studies or references from previous projects where subcontractors were successfully integrated. It seems to reassure them when they see concrete examples of smooth collaboration. Have you tried something similar, or do you think clients respond better to direct conversations with the subcontractors themselves?
I've found that clients usually appreciate a bit of both. Case studies definitely help ease their minds, but sometimes nothing beats a quick chat with the subcontractor to get a feel for their personality and approach. When we renovated our kitchen, my wife was super skeptical about bringing in outside help (thanks to a previous nightmare project...), but after meeting the subcontractor face-to-face, she felt way more comfortable. So yeah, examples are great, but sometimes a personal connection seals the deal.
Totally agree about meeting in person. When we built our house, seeing how the subcontractor handled our questions and concerns face-to-face made all the difference. Case studies help, sure, but nothing beats gut feeling when you're trusting someone with your home...
