Clients are the lifeblood of your agency, but some of them can cause overwhelming stress and even drag your time away from other clients and priorities. If you are spending more resources on retaining the client than they are paying you, it’s time to cut the cord. Some clients just need to be fired.
Even if you’re working smarter ‒ not harder ‒ by using our quality white label services for SEO outsourcing or outsourcing social media marketing, certain individuals will succeed in making your agency life miserable. Let them down gently with these tips.
Tell Them
Instead of beating around the bush, simply be upfront with your client and explain why the working relationship no longer makes sense for you or your agency. While being honest, you should also be objective, kind, and calm. Getting emotional will not help the process.
Increase Prices
If the client in question is particularly difficult, you may want to inadvertently fire them by raising your profits until they quit on you. This could also be a legitimate decision to reap the rewards of the added value and results you offer the client. If a client thinks you’re too expensive, they are likely not an ideal client.
