What is the most common problem you deal with when working with new clients who do not have much experience with working with designers?

For many clients with little design experience I feel they need to be informed of our process. It is too often that the client is left in the dark as to what processes we are devising and completing to achieve their intended goals. Weather it be an explanation of concept development, strategy meetings, design mock ups and information architecture review. These are all processes we use to help clients feel in the loop and assured that our method is organized and in line with their goals.
