You can classify Bad clients as under:-
There are clients who get delighted if they are offered free samples (without any payment as such). Logically an individual puts in his heart and soul in making the sample that doesn’t matter for the client. Hence people have portfolios with them.
Well in the beginning the job seems quite easy but then there comes in more demands quoting a list of things that he/she needs to do for the same price.
When clients have queries and people help solve them, but the problem with such clients is that however great efforts they try to put in to solve their problem, they won’t get satisfied rather they might feel the problems listed by them isn’t the real problem.
It might happen that there is an ad saying wanted people to work for them but then when people start come in with the hope of recruitment they turn their backs and say they were looking out for volunteers wherein there is no pay involved.
You have some questions for this client so you send him an e-mail. Days, maybe even weeks, pass. There is still no answer from Mr. Unavailable. You’re beginning to wonder if this client is even still in business.
Sometimes clients contact you several times every single day and if you don’t answer a single mail of their, they possess a big question mark.
Unfortunately, this client will not keep your pockets full. No matter how good the work is that you turn in, it is not quite good enough.
Another type of client is in relation to the one who gossips lots. Watch out, though! Before you know it, this client will be dishing dirt out about you.
At first, he appears to be a normal client. You feel he is decent enough and will adhere to the terms of payment, but when the time of payment comes he has all the reasons for not making the payment or for the delay.
Most freelancers have probably encountered this “client.” No matter what price you quote for their project, they know somebody else who will do the work for even less. Is this your best price? If you can get the work done somewhere else cheaper, then go ahead and do it.
