Clients…
If you have ever done any contract work or had to actually work with customer requests you will probably get a good laugh out of Clientcopia. I recommend the top 20 list.
It’s one thing when a client is just not knowledgeable about what you are doing for them, I mean that is why they are paying you, but when people get pissy they need to be let go quickly.
Example:
Me: “What’s your email, sir?” Tom Smith: “Tom Smith… t-o-m-s-m-i-t-” Me: “Tom Smith, got it..” TS: “And it’s all together, ok? No spaces. And don’t use any capitals, do you hear me? All in lower case!” Me: “Yes, tomsmith in all lower case. Got it. And your email provider, sir?” TS: “Huh?” Me: “The part after the @ sign.” TS: “What sign?” Me: “Sorry, I mean what does it say after your name?” TS: “Well, it’s this… a inside a bubble…” Me: “Yes, that’s right, the @ sign, and after that?” TS: “It says hotmail… not m-a-l-e, not like a hot man.. h-o-t-m-a-i-l.” Me: “Got it, mail as in e-mail.” TS: “Not e-mail, hotmail! You’re not using capitals on that, are you?”
