Chat with a buyer in Japan changed my gig description completely

Last month I had a buyer message me about a logo design. She said my gig looked professional but she almost passed because she thought I only worked with tech startups. I do a lot of restaurant and retail branding too but my description was full of buzzwords like modern and sleek. So I rewrote the whole thing to list specific industries I have experience in. Now I add a sentence about who I actually work with, not just what I can do. She ended up ordering a $350 package too. Has anyone else had a buyer straight up tell you what was wrong with your gig?

Isn't it crazy how one honest buyer can make you rethink your whole approach?

That's gold when a buyer tells you straight up.

Gotta love the rare buyer who actually knows what they want. Most of mine just stare at the photos for five minutes and then say "I'll take it" like they're doing me a favor. Straight up honesty saves everyone time and headaches. It's like finding a unicorn in the wild when someone says "this part fits my car, here's my cash." Makes me wish every buyer had that kind of clarity instead of the endless "is this still available?" games.
