For the past two months, many mistakes have been made on one of my accounts and the client had grown quite tired of new mistakes appearing in each stage of the projects I was in charge of.

Between an extra task’s delivery being delayed, mistakes in a quote’s details or the name in the invoice, every week would mean at least one new problem arising.

After a while, we decided it would be better to have a meeting and explain everything along with the actions we had taken to avoid those repeating in the future.

The meeting was last week but I was scared to death even one week prior to it. I went as far as to wake up many times on the night of the meeting, worrying about my client’s obvious anger.

And then the meeting happened.

A small hour-meeting during which we went through all the mistakes done in the past year and some more I had (subconsciously) erased from my memory.

To my surprise, the client was very understanding and even took part of the blame for some of the errors made by my team and me.
