In my experience, IT people don't ask for feedback as much as other business areas. My conclusion as to why is that technical professionals work with their head more than they do with their heart, so it isn't a natural tendency. I find that most of the freelancers I work with don't ask for feedback at all, which is a shame as it is a valuable learning opportunity to improve, what is essentially, their business and the service they provide. @Mark – great question!

( A leading qs if ever there was one..!) I would imagine the freelancers are more motivated to build up a list of recommendations and feedback to increase the probability of winning referral business. @Simon – in your experience, are IT folks weak/timid in asking for performance feedback?
