Good work alone isn’t the key to a successful career…

Your boss or client falling in love with working with you is.

‘Managing Up’–managing your manager–can be learned.

Managing Up is the key to a successful career that you’re never taught.

You have the technical knowledge and skills to do your craft, but this course has the best tools you can use to enhance your professional skills. With these valuable how-to guides, you’ll gain the experience necessary to have your managers fall in love with the way you work.

Since you’re doing such great work…

Your clients haven’t fallen in love with working with you because you were taught the lie that they care mostly about results.

Charming clients isn’t just smiling & being nice, and you can’t magically just know how…

Managing Your Manager is just a set of Best Practices you can learn!

Learning the key client-management tips can go very far…

Beloved By Clients’ mission is to be the how-to guide that teaches you how to manage your managers.

We pledge to help you improve both your relationship with your clients, and all of the relationships in your life. We will teach you how to best manage social and virtual interactions, as well as how to apply this new knowledge in practical situations.

And how do we teach the rules? In our no-BS style that dispenses with euphemisms and forgets the lie that “clients judge you first by results” and focuses on the practical, how-to steps of how you can learn.

These tips were compiled over 11 years of managing among the most difficult clients in the world.

Here are some tips for managing your manager we’ll train you in

Frame documents as “notes” or “drafts”

You don’t need to have the Last Word

Experiment with extreme transparency

Discuss yellow flags very early

Systematize everything

Drop happy surprises regularly… and do the work behind the happy surprises

Always take the blame… so you can focus on forward-looking problem-solving

Ask “are you sure?” and then walk through consequences together

The “good results and good communication” gold standard

Train yourself how to say “no,” and know when to say it (but not to your boss)

Minimize ambiguous language (plus many examples over many chapters)

Assume all questions are tests

It’s not magic, but a methodology.
