“I have 6 designers,” exclaimed a sign company owner I talked to several years ago. His voice was full of confidence and optimism. I said, “Great. How many are sign designers?” There was a brief pause on the other end of the phone. And he replied, “One. I am teaching another one. The other four are graphic designers. It’s going to take some time with them.”

This is a major dilemma that sign companies have to deal with: there is not enough sign designers, even for the sign industry.  Almost always, a sign company has to scavenge for designers usually only to end up with a graphic designer with no sign industry experience.  Hence, a lot of training must be invested into this person, who is probably a very capable, and a very talented designer.

At this point, once hired, the difficult task of teaching a graphic designer, How-To sign design, begins. This task is usually undertaken by the sign company owner. It always takes months of the owners time and and always eats a lot of the sales time a business owner should be focusing on.

Where does one begin to understand the importance of reducing the time wasted teaching your graphic designer sign design? Where does one begin to explain to a sign company owner the importance of selling, developing client relations, and running a business, not trying to do sign design themselves?
