Skenario Umum
Skenario 1: Client menolak untuk disebutkan namanya
Situasi: Project sukses besar, tapi client tidak mau namanya dipublish karena policy perusahaan.
Tindakan: (1) Terima dengan respect — jangan push. (2) Tawarkan anonymized version: "A leading [industry] company with [X] employees." (3) Minta izin untuk metrics saja tanpa nama. (4) Gunakan sebagai internal reference case untuk proposals (dengan label "confidential"). (5) Revisit dalam 6-12 bulan — kebijakan bisa berubah.
Skenario 2: Tidak punya quantifiable results
Situasi: Project selesai dengan baik, tapi client tidak bisa share specific metrics.
Tindakan: (1) Coba qualitative measures — "significant improvement", "team now handles X easily". (2) Ask for before/after comparison bahkan tanpa angka exact. (3) Focus on process/approach story — buat "implementation story" bukan "results story". (4) Get strong testimonial quote untuk compensate. (5) Revisit in 6 months setelah results lebih measurable.
Skenario 3: Case study pipeline kosong
Situasi: Tidak ada candidate case study baru dalam 6 bulan.
Tindakan: (1) Implementasi systematic process — setiap project completion harus trigger case study evaluation. (2) Review existing clients — ada yang belum di-approach? (3) Offer incentive ke Sales/Presales yang refer case study candidates. (4) Update existing case studies dengan new data/results ("2 years later" update). (5) Create industry/trend pieces based on aggregated (anonymized) project insights.
