10 Different Types Of Clients And How To Deal With Them by AYOALUKO(m): 10:33pm On Mar 21, 2020
When starting out your business, you are very excited and you foresee a bright future for your business. You also had in mind that there will be challenges, and one of such challenges is here. DEALING WITH CLIENTS.

You are eager to have clients in your business to help it grow, but in the process, you will encounter different types of clients. All clients are unique, which means you need to figure out different ways to handle different clients. These are our talking points:

The urgent client
The “yes, no, maybe” client
The “VIP” and its counterpart — “I have other options”
The unrealistic client
The micromanager
The “What’s the weekend?” client
The “NYCMNYD” (Now you see me, now you don’t) client
The “behind the times” and the “viral sensation” clients
The “I don’t’ really care, just do whatever you want” client
The “I assumed this was included” client

The truth is this, no matter how good your product or service is, it is just a matter of time before you have your first encounter with the client from hell. You simply cannot avoid it. Here is one characteristic they have.

Typically they will want to take up all of your time so that you can focus on their project or issue, frustrate you and your team and haggle with you endlessly to get more than they paid for, or lower your prices.

Before we look at some types of clients and how to deal with them, here are some things you need to keep in mind when dealing with difficult clients.

Your most difficult clients will probably not generate the majority of your income. The 80:20 rule says that when it comes to client relationships, 80% of your resources will be used managing just 20% of your clients. Or, that 80% of your headaches will come from 20% of your clients. The clients that cause the most headaches probably generate about 20% of your revenue.
People may say that all press is good press, but, if you are just getting started, you don’t want bad reviews getting out about your business. Even just one bad review can greatly impact your ability to attract new (and better clients).

Knowing the above can give you an edge when dealing with some clients, but is it enough to help you with other types of client? Now at all. We are going to look at some types of clients and how you can successfully deal with them.
