Is it heresy to think about getting rid of a client? No, it is smart and profitable to walk away from a bad client. Why?
1. It drains your energy 2. The money is never worth the aggravation 3. Stops you from creating raving fans 4. Hard to achieve results with a poor partner 5. Prevents you from accepting better clients
I tell my coaching clients that they aren’t truly a successful entrepreneur until they’ve walked away from a big dollar deal because they knew it was the wrong fit. Making a decision on money alone is usually the wrong decision.
Every time that I’ve chosen the short term dollars and not listened to my gut, I’ve regretted it. Today, I LOVE my clients. I can’t wait to see them, jump for joy for their success, Tweet for them, and become their raving fan. They are coachable! (Take a look at my coaching packages.)
