❌ Type of client you should REFUSE ❌

I’m always very cautious with people who I work with. Mainly because I hate working for low budgets within a short timeline (as all of us=)). So during the last years I have identified a typical portrait of a client I always say NO to (or just cut off the communication as delicate as possible).


He does:

1. Ask me too much questions on how I'm deciding where to put a button/which color to use/which font to use

2. Ignore my suggestions to have a Skype call
 🥵
3. Want a test task done without even symbolic payment (he thinks we are struggling for work and 20 different designers will provide him concepts for free just to compete for the project)

4. Turn my Skype into constant ping-ping-ping no matter what time is it in my timezone even BEFORE we agreed that I will work for him

5. Want to know the most detailed breakdown of every single deliverable. He needs to understand what is he spending every $1 for, right?
6. Think that PSD is a good deliverable for UI design and wants me to deliver PSDs
.

1. Give a list of his expectations
😅
2. Answer to brief questions clearly
3. Say anything to my timeline estimations even if I ask to OK on that
4. Accept the time zone difference and wants me to reply at 3am
5. Understand that I have other clients too and cannot have a call within 20 min since he wrote me in skype . I think I can continue with the list but those are the most painful points for me personally((( What is your “Say NO to” client? What points have you faced with (1-11)?
