No impact 08:27

Curiously enough, none of my regulars has asked me to sign a NDA and those that do are usually one-offs or appear once in a blue moon. Anyway, if a NDA contains a clause I don’t agree with I’ll cross it or ask the client to change it or I will refuse to sign it. Take it or leave it!

Minor impact 12:07

Sometimes a new or potantial new cliant asks me to list current or previous clients.
Because I have signed NDAs with many of my clients, I routinely explain that I cannot give them any names. This is always accepted.

Some inpact 13:39

I faced some impact as when a new agency contacted me asking if I wanted to work with them for a tender, they asked for some references from other agencies I had worked for. An agency I had worked with for a long time refused, because it said this agency was a competitor for the tender.
