In the world of production and design, one of the most significant challenges is the disconnect that often arises between the salesperson, the production team, and the end client. This gap can lead to confusion, inefficiencies, and ultimately, a final product that doesn't meet expectations. At Breakthrough Productions, we've seen firsthand how this disconnect can derail projects, and it's why we advocate for cutting out the middleman whenever possible.
The Disconnect: Sales vs. Reality
A recent project highlighted this issue perfectly. We were brought on by a company to build a custom piece based on a beautifully rendered image. As we do with every project, we took that image, worked through the details—figuring out how to produce it, determining the dimensions, and ensuring everything was aligned with the budget and physical feasibility. We shared these critical details with the company.
But here's where things went wrong: the company, acting as the middleman between us and the end client, failed to communicate these essential details to the client. Instead, they continued to focus on creating more pretty renderings and making changes that didn't consider the budget or what was physically possible to build. This approach not only muddied the waters but also set unrealistic expectations for the end client—ultimately putting the entire project at risk.
Why Middlemen Muddy the Waters
When a company acts as a middleman, they often prioritize their relationship with the end client over the realities of production. Their focus tends to be on making the sale, showing the client a picture-perfect rendering, and keeping them happy with tweaks and changes. However, without a deep understanding of what’s possible or feasible, they can end up overpromising and underdelivering.
This is where problems arise. The end client is left in the dark about crucial aspects of the project, such as budget constraints or physical limitations, and is ultimately disappointed when the final product doesn’t match their expectations. Meanwhile, the production team is left scrambling to meet unrealistic demands or, worse, having to rebuild from scratch after the client finally learns the truth.
The Breakthrough Productions Approach: Transparency and Direct Communication
At Breakthrough Productions, we believe in a different approach—one that emphasizes transparency and direct communication with our clients. When you work with us, you’re not dealing with a middleman who’s more interested in selling you a dream than delivering a reality. Instead, you’re working directly with the people who will bring your vision to life.
We cut out the middleman because we know that clear communication is the key to a successful project. By working directly with us, you get a team that understands both the creative and technical aspects of your project. We don’t just create beautiful renderings; we ensure that those renderings are grounded in reality—aligned with your budget, timeline, and what’s physically possible.
This approach not only saves time and money but also ensures that the end product is exactly what you envisioned—or better. Our commitment to transparency means that you’ll always know where your project stands, and you’ll be involved in every step of the process.
