they ALWAYS pick the shittest concept... im down to only showing 1 concept at a time, if they dont like it i work on another... its usually more than enough and 9 times out of ten theyre sold on it straight away because if i love it the passion comes across in the pitch!

I know! This wasn't even a fully realized concept. It was getting to the point where he needed to see something though, so I gave in.

You should charge them a "peak" premium.

i find it's best to show 1 concept then work from there, as more often than not we end up reverting back to the original idea after a long process. i think that if you only present what you feel is the best solution it makes your concept look stronger, as opposed to showing lots of diluted concepts.

In that interview with Steve Jobs about Paul Rand, Jobs said Rand told him: I'm not going to give you a bunch of choices. I'm gonna solve it the best way I can, and you're gonna pay me. It's yours to use or not."
Must be nice to have that kinda clout...
