We met 4 times and I can tell they might be such a strong personality to deal with. Anyway I needed the money so thought whatever let’s do it.
Gave verbal go ahead.
And then during contract signing, they were soooo nitpicky especially I gave them a pretty good deal plus the payment terms from there side was bad. Basically it was going to be a lot of take from there side.
I thought about it and ended up calling it quits with them in a professional manner. They sat they are disappointed but I think I dodged a bullet.
Thanks for coming to my TED Talk.
Lesson learned if its not a hell yes dont do it.
I will never forget the first client I should have fired.
Never again will I deal with that. I will eat a loss to avoid that nightmare.
A few months after that incident, I refused to do work for someone. They ended up going to my friend. My friend called me up and asked why I didn’t refer the client to him. I told him I didn’t get a good vibe from the client. My friend got better vibes. Started work. Ended up having a ton of change orders that the client signed off on. Then, he refused to pay because it wasn’t in the original contract. Turned out to be a huge ordeal. My friend wound up losing a ton of money on that job to “do right by the customer” I felt so bad for my friend. We agreed to head eachothers warnings after that.
