Do YOU have a toxic client? And if so, what can you do about it?
If you’re a freelancer you’ll know how draining and demoralising it can be working for a tricky client. But how can you spot one, and when should you walk away from them?
To find out, we interviewed Facebook ads specialist and experienced freelancer Jo Francis for a podcast episode on toxic clients. We wanted to know what are the signs a client may be tricky, and how Jo has handled nightmare clients in the past.
Jo also shares a cautionary tale of giving too much power to one toxic client, and what happened when she took her power back.
This is a must-listen episode for any freelancer! Here’s what you’ll discover in this Get Rich Slow podcast episode:
- The red flags that will help you spot a nightmare client.
- Why a potential client asking for your CV is a bad sign.
- Why you shouldn’t be afraid to ask for payment in advance.
- Why it’s a bad sign if your client moans or gossips about other freelancers.
- Why you should never devote as much as 75% of your time to just one client.
- A dangerous way toxic clients play freelancers off against each other.
- Why you should be wary of a client who asks you to reduce your price.
- And a cautionary tale of Jo’s most toxic client – and how she escaped!
