I'd rather just not have these clients. I kind of avoid them like the plague. |

But for the bro who is actually doing the heavy lifting on the initial draft...let's just say the client isn't going to know enough to question whether you worked from 9 pm to 1 am or 9 pm to 4 am on that project.

Date: October 20th, 2014 2:27 PM Author: Appetizing sickened orchestra pit circlehead I don't really "eagerly put up with these kinds of clients"....if I get a client like this, I don't do much to try and keep them....although sometimes these clients will change. We had one client who was super cheap until he figured out how valuable we could be and his company got bigger...now he is one of the least cost sensitive clients we have.
