You’re Fired! Break­ing Free From Ter­ri­ble Clients

To­day’s the last day I worked for Nadja B.

Have you fired a client lately? Some­times you should!

I fired her.

Told her, she needs to find an­other agency, and moved her web site to an ex­ter­nal web host.

„The clien­t’s al­ways right,” you say?

I don’t think so.

It’s not your pur­pose to take the drama of each of the 7 bil­lion peo­ple on the planet.

I won­der who came up with ‘the clien­t’s al­ways right’ in the first place, and why?

If I were the Dalai Lama, ok. Or Bud­dha, ok. I’d keep her as client. But I’m not quite there yet, spiritually.

Like in ro­man­tic re­la­tion­ships, in busi­ness re­la­tion­ships, too, some per­sons aren’t a good match.

If a client con­sis­tently does­n’t work well with you, you should part ways.

There are tens of thou­sands of agen­cies, and mil­lions of clients.

• Each client can eas­ily find a new agency that will bet­ter fit his spe­cial needs.
• Each agency can eas­ily find a new client that will be eas­ier to work with.
