This year the definition of a good client has changed for most of us. Before, a good client was one who:
- Wasn’t fussy.
- Had a clear idea of what they wanted or trusted your judgement if they didn’t.
- Were reasonable about extensions if needed.
- Gave feedback
- Paid on time
Now, a good client is one who:
- Informs beforehand that they’ll no longer be able to afford you and that this will be your last assignment with them.
- Contacts you on their own telling you about a delay in payment.
- Gives a straight answer when you email inquiring about the due payment.
- Gives you an excellent recommendation.
- Apologize (Okay this one’s a personal ‘feel better’ issue of mine).
What was your definition of a good client and how has it changed, if at all?
