@adifferenttruth Yeah, there's two kinds of bad design clients, the ones who can't give any feedback at all other than 'no' and the ones that think design is easy so they must be able to do it themselves, treating you like some kind of human Adobe product.
The Cape Cod style guy we worked with pretty much we understood we were paying him for his design expertise. We may not use all of it (and didn't), but we were paying him regardless.
We also worked with a home design company with a software/showroom place where they'd render the project and you could provide feedback. Not everybody would proceed with the project, but it was basically a paid sales call for them.
The later company was pulling down serious coin. The architect was making a very high hourly rate.
Hopefully you get a catalog of before/after where you are attracting the kind of people who like and trust your advice.
