Here’s what you can expect from this episode:

You could say I’ve been around the block…so I’ve experienced a lot of different clients and projects in the past. This one takes the cake. Let it be known that I’m not usually one to name names, or talk trashy about my clients, past or current! However, this particular client has got to be the worst client I have had on my roster in the past five years of running my social media agency.

In this episode, I spill the beans on how my best client transformed into my worst client. Sure, she started off great; met her deadlines, had the perfect photos, trusted my support and the A+ report card goes on. So what happened? What made this client leave me in the dust and have the audacity to vent about how disappointed she was starting to feel about her social downward momentum?

Intrigued? So would I be. Listen in on the story that helped me (yep! You read that right!) learn the importance of a business’ sustainability, the resources that I always have at hand, and the real culprit that is haemorrhaging your clients.

Topics Covered on the worst client:

Difference between working on your business and in your business

The real culprit to haemorhagging clients

I believe everyone deserves marketing that respects both creator and audience while delivering measurable results. We focus on sustainable strategies that build genuine connections rather than chasing trends or using manipulative tactics.
