Lets start with rejected client Cindy from mid-city America. Cindy (which is not her real name) had a project that she has been shopping around now for atleast 2 weeks and now needs it done over the next 48 hours. We look at her project and it is indeed very doable in 2 days BUT, her attitude was so bad on the phone when I spoke with her that we chose to either charge her are special A$$-hole rate or pass on her biz so i shot her a email with are rate and she called all huffing and puffing and demanded the another rate we said we charge. I told her “for you” we only have this special rate and take it or leave it, she left it and good ridden’s.

Then there is Jerry (which is not his real name) from small-city America. In responding to a email I sent him, good’ol Jerry thought it would be nice to let me know how poorly done my pitch email was and that he might have been ready to do some biz if only I had worded my email better. Jerry was also kind enough as to leave his companies website and his personal contact info in this email:). Now armed with this info, I went right to work. The first place I stopped was his website and boy was that a mess. I am talking FRAMES in alot of pages, title’s that had the same thing on them through-out the whole site, many pages in PDF form, not more then a handful of links and a Alexa rating in the millions:). I pointed all this out to Jerry and told him that as he is a founder and high ranking officer at this company that he should be ashamed of himself for not having a better online presence. Needless to say we didn’t strike up any deals:)………..

How was Your week, any clients from hell?
