How To Identify Bad Clients Before Working With Them

[@larrynguyen85]

I'm reminded of another quote you stated once that has stayed with me since: "Nothing changes, if nothing changes."

[@Mohammed_Ajlan]

Same with me, I am putting this on a Tshirt ❤️‍🔥😂

[@Koyasi78]

I had an uncle who used to say to his nephews when we were acting tough "boy I done forgot more game then you'll ever learn". Funny to hear to a version of that spoken in this forum but it's absolutely true. Continually providing top notch knowledge (I'm not calling this content anymore). Especially about turning down clients and being strict. There is actually value in being strict with a person. The right one will go to sleep that night and check themselves and come back later with mounds of respect for what you do. In fact, when I work with other creatives who want my services and they seem lost the first place I send them is to your channel. Bay Area stand up!

[@thefutur]

What’s up Bay Area?!

[@leadgenjay]

The insight on bridging the gap between desires and results is spot on.

[@EcomCarl]

Great focus on the strategy of identifying potentially bad clients! Using targeted questions like the Dan question not only clarifies client goals but also ensures alignment, saving invaluable time and resources for both parties. 🔑

[@DrDaveMatthew]

The Futur is GOLD !

[@dougscott188]

Great insight. One thing I would add and what we see is this third person come into the picture whether an employee, consultant or friend that upends the bond created with the client.

[@guylaineregimbald2914]

That was precious advance for 5 minutes. ❤

[@bharatkpoor]

Wow I never expected your video to be available in Hindi Chris. But I’m more used to listen to you in English. But this is great

[@hankypanky4u]

Your voice is off. Hope you’re well! Thank you for another great video.

55years experience in photography work, your face is precious pure, gorgeous, a handsome man. Holy heart ♥ touch me

[@thefutur]

Thank you

[@michaelh5890]

Great content! It seems makes sense to identify clients you don't want to work with by asking this initial question.

[@fajigajiga]

love the PopBot in the background. Ashley Wood is Aces!

[@thefutur]

He sure is!!

[@MBVisionSchweiz]

[@SimracingArnout]

Al the content on this channel i try to connect and apply with selling my dream boat project. Which is already build and i enjoy it myself. Finding customers, marketing, sales, this is going to be so cool to try all of these business principles in my boat selling project.

[@thefutur]

Good luck. What’s the boats name?

[@BlackBoxStudiosGh]

Love it! I wish i could meet you one day!

[@welcomeherelena]

Hello! Great channel and nice video.👍759👈Have a nice day!😊

[@anirudhedits4488]

Why not??

[@josephroberts6642]

How do these methods tell you whether or not it’s a bad client? I do a discoveries where I set expectations, and I have still found that I still missed hidden character issues that made working with the client a nightmare.

[@DesignWho]

make it pop..

[@ForteViolinAcademy]

This never gets old lol

[@Alfa_Channell]

i love your channel - you give just enough advice to not give the game away...

[@GrindToLive1x]

Wat kind of question can you use to identify a bad client?

[@schwetang]

Ask for their budget and timeline.

[@smallbusinessmarketerfreel4885]

Ask if they micromanage?

[@farhanshadin2897]

Help !!

[@DomTVdotTV]

so is Chris a Crip train operator now or what's going on there

[@theghoulboyofficial]

still blows my mind that this dude is in his 50's - looks & sounds like he's 34 MAX

[@nickawilliams5175]

Really, wow

[@ritwizmulay]

You can't do it with Japanese clients

[@thefutur]

Why not?

[@wonggentle]

I agree.

[@ShriyaG-gd3fj]

I was shocked to hear Hindi...

[@OU81TWO]

"I'm not going to work WITH you" Haha. If I'm a client you work FOR me not with me buddy.

[@thefutur]

Sounds like you're a "great" client to work for...

[@OU81TWO]

@@thefutur I wouldn't hire you.

[@rico9362]

@@OU81TWO you have a lot to learn about working with others and leading people….

[@thefutur]

Thank you 🙏

[@theragingdolphinsmaniac4696]

And that's exactly the problem. I don't have to work for you either. If I'm not a valued partner, then we shouldn't work together.

[@thevikingsock8527]

Wtf why is this in broken german? Your german voice actor is really bad. Is it AI? Just keep it in english

[@thefutur]

It is AI. You can select English version

[@ComposerMartinVilliger]

The german AI-Version Voice over is terrible. Please no.

[@thefutur]

Just listen in English, we’re just trying to help.

[@ComposerMartinVilliger]

It just gives me the German version. I can’t imagine anyone liking it. Like the content though

[@thefutur]

You can change the language at the bottom right corner of the video.

[@ComposerMartinVilliger]

@@thefutur thanks! 😀
