I address the issue with professionalism and clarity. First, I revisit the initial agreement or expectations to ensure alignment and identify any gaps. I schedule a direct, respectful conversation to discuss the challenges, focusing on solutions rather than blame. During the discussion, I express appreciation for their contributions while clearly outlining the unmet expectations and their impact on the project. Together, we can renegotiate deliverables, timelines, or roles to ensure mutual benefit. If the situation doesn’t improve, I remain prepared to pivot by adjusting the collaboration scope or seeking alternative partners, always maintaining professionalism to preserve the relationship for future opportunities.

Yes, I've managed influencer collaborations by first addressing any concerns openly through a candid discussion. I ensure both sides understand each other's expectations and align on clear goals. Setting measurable deliverables, timelines, and success metrics helps avoid miscommunication. I monitor progress regularly, offering feedback to guide the collaboration. If issues arise, I address them proactively to keep things on track. This approach fosters a strong partnership and ensures both parties are committed to achieving shared success.

Collaboration only works when both sides bring their best. When an influencer isn’t delivering, don’t stay silent—address it with clarity and confidence. Evan always emphasizes communication first. Reach out, reset expectations, and find out what’s really going on. Maybe they’re overwhelmed, misaligned, or just need clearer direction. Define success together—specific deliverables, timelines, and accountability. If momentum isn’t building, be ready to pivot. Protect your vision. The right partnerships elevate your message; the wrong ones slow you down. Stay firm in what you #BELIEVE, and don’t be afraid to move on if necessary. - Rae (from Evan's Team)

And if all else fails, maybe send them a “friendly” calendar invite labeled Urgent Alignment Needed!
