Beware of These Eight Clients by @morejanda // Eight clients that may put your business at risk.--THE TRADER: They can’t pay you actual money, but they have something just as valuable to offer...like a freezer full of buffalo meat.(Just make sure your employees are ok being paid in meat.)--THE VISIONARY: They don’t have money, yet. But “the money is on its way” because this idea is the business opportunity of the decade. They are kind enough to want YOU to be involved. It’s your lucky day!--THE ALLEGED CONNECTOR: Although their funds are tight, they try to impress and intimidate you with their allegedly packed address book filled with many important contacts. (Cheap clients usually have cheap friends.)--THE HURRY UP: They want to get started right away even though their funding is not officially available yet. It should only be another week or two and then the money will be here, for sure.--THE POSER: They talk a big game, walk a big walk, and drive a fancy car, but they don’t have real success to back up their grandiose vision statements. (No success today is often an indicator of no success tomorrow.)--THE FIRER: They fired their last three agencies. You might take the job because there is no way you will do as bad as the last agencies. (Just remember, the client is the only consistent element in the last three bad experiences.) --THE PROMISER: They ask for a deal today and promise that they will have a lot more work coming your way in the future. (Promises like this are as good as (gold) coal in this industry.)--THE DICTATOR: Since they are the paying for the work, they think they can dictate how it should be done. If you’re lucky, they may even come work over your shoulder for a day (just to make sure you are doing it right). --WHICH OF THESE HAVE YOU WORKED WITH?-------#design #graphicdesign #uxui #michaeljanda #burnyourportfolio #graphicdesign #agencylife #agencyadvice #designbusiness #marketingtips #freelancelife #freelancer #freelancehelp #майклджанда #visualdesign #bewareoftheseclients #badclients #riskyclient #clientanalysis #becareful #buyerbeware #badclient #riskyclients
