Re: FN-FORUM Difficult clients

I have to be honest, I'd agree with the others on this point - if the client
is a tosser at this early stage - think about how much of a tosser he could
be when you present him with the invoice... you could spend a lot more time
running around for this guy... I'd kick him into touch now.. but don't be
nasty about it - afterall, what comes around, goes around - just explain to
him that you've had another client on the telephone who has a rush job which
you have to give priority... he may be a little peeved, but he can't do an
awful lot.

HTH,

Carl.
