Is your client an ***? Are you?

I recently had my first client from h-e-double hockey sticks. I suppose it was bound to happen. I had a gut feeling I was making a deal with the devil when I took on this client. But I'm not one to talk bad about people behind their backs so that's all I'll say about it.

I came across a test to help you determine if you have one of those types of clients http://yourclientfromhell.com/. And here's a quiz to help determine if you are the problem http://electricpulp.com/guykawasaki/arse/.

Ooh, Crystal, this is too funny and the YOURCLIENTFROMHELL test was very entertaining.

There are certain people we encounter that just suck the life out of those around them. The solution in most instances is dump them. They will not recognize you even if you perform the super human and will most likely bad mouth you anyway. Who needs that?

Great post, thanks for the links.

Lanette - Yeah, it was a good laugh. I was almost afraid to take the second one, but I passed with flying colors.

Kirk - I agree. You have to recognize that they are sucking the life out of you and that you can fire them.

Kevin and Monica - I'm glad you enjoyed them.

Hi Laura. I love the one that asks, "if your client starts turning on the charm, does that mean an unreasonable request is coming". LOL.

I added to my terms of service, "All unreasonable requests will be billed at double your contracted rate. I reserve the right to decide what is unreasonable." Of course it was done tongue in cheek.
