Jump to: Book details | About the author | Recommendations | Table of contents

Everybody who works for clients knows them, clients you shouldn’t want to work for. Because they’re not clear in what they want, talk continuously without a job, or because they refuse to pay. They make for hilarious anecdotes but the business side is less funny. Over half of all companies are faced with one form of scams or another and most freelancers loose thousands to ten thousands of euros. Making sure that this doesn’t happen to you is essential for your organization.

With humor and a serious undertone Jennifer Delano describes the seven worst types of clients. With recognizable examples and – more important – a clear overview of how much time, energy, and money you can safe by saying ‘no’ to these clients quicker. Jennifer’s goal is to make sure you recognize these situations, prevent that you accept their jobs, and delete them from your rolodex as soon as possible in a professional manner. This gives you time and energy to spend on the clients that do make you happy and to whom you are committed with pleasure and assured of an income.
