most successful on line business owners are making a fortune on repparttar 120621

net. See how they are making themselves seen. You will realize they are not using such tools as Classified ads; only repparttar 120622

'newbies' are using those. Classified ads as well as FFA pages, Internet 'business promotion groups' ( which you'll find at Yahoo groups or MSN groups) all end up become wastelands "the biz-ops junk yards". Most of repparttar 120623

hours spent on on line marketing are wasted on these and similar avenues and you get nothing back but junk mail or counter offers. Not sales!

"Don't Work With Jerks: How to Recognize a Difficult Client Early and Make Your Business Stress-Fre/e"

by Milana Leshinsky http://www.AssessmentGenerator.com

Five minutes into repparttar 120619 call I knew this client was going to make my life miserable. The problem was, I already said "Yes."

Into every professional practice falls a little rain, or better said...walks in a nightmare client. You start losing sleep by a couple of hours every night, you keep thinking about her project during your lunch time, and you feel like your life has been taken over by this client.

What a nightmare! Didn't we go into repparttar 120620 business for ourselves to enjoy it? Do we not have repparttar 120621 choice of who to work with? Of course, we do! The challenge is in recognizing a difficult client early enough to say "No."

So how do you do that? First, determine what "difficult" means to you. It may mean different things to different people. For example, while some professionals will be happy to take a phone call from a client between 9 and 5, others may have a special time set aside for phone calls. While some business owners love getting detailed specifications for a project, others may feel trapped and limited in their creativity.

1. What is a difficult client

To help you decide what things may be important to you, here are some of repparttar 120622 most common traits of difficult clients:

- They do not respect your time - They tell you how to do your work - They always check up on you - They constantly change their mind about a project - They knit pick over every detail - They try to intimidate you into doing things you haven't agreed to - They treat you as if they're repparttar 120623 boss and you are repparttar 120624 employee - They have little respect for your expertise - They call you at a non-scheduled time - They frequently e-mail you with questions, requiring long replies - They ask you to throw in a few extras without offering to pay extra - They keep reminding you how high your fees are - They are frequently disappointed with your work - They won't pay on time, but ask you to continue working with them - They frequently cancel or reschedule your meetings - They believe they're your only client, & demand your full attention

You can complete this list by adding a few other traits that you find annoying or unacceptable in your business, or to your life style.

2. Red flags: Early warnings of a difficult client

Once you know what's important to you, how do you look for signs that this may be a difficult client? First of all, listen to your intuition. It's easy to ignore repparttar 120625 red flags, especially if you're hungry for business.

"Your gut is never wrong," one IT consultant said. "Whenever I've ended up with a nightmare client, it's because I didn't listen to my instinct and I went for repparttar 120626 zeroes."

Listen to your instinct. Additionally, do your best to avoid clients that:

- Don't want to sign a contract - Are in a rush - Are looking for repparttar 120627 cheapest provider - Are your friends and relatives

Create a profile of your ideal client, and check every prospect against it before taking them on. "This is crazy!" you may be thinking. "Won't choosing clients so carefully cost me business?" Not really.
