We met 4 times and I can tell they might be such a strong personality to deal with. Anyway I needed the money so thought whatever let’s do it.

Gave verbal go ahead.

And then during contract signing, they were soooo nitpicky especially I gave them a pretty good deal plus the payment terms from there side was bad. Basically it was going to be a lot of take from there side.

I thought about it and ended up calling it quits with them in a professional manner. They sat they are disappointed but I think I dodged a bullet.

Thanks for coming to my TED Talk.

Lesson learned if its not a hell yes dont do it.

    Awesome that you put your boundaries out there and kept people from stepping over them! Imagine how much time you will save to do something valuable if you can spot such a client earlier in the process next time.

    Good! Had a similar situation with a customer recently that was just berating me over customer support chat for an issue that was completely out of my control. Tried my best to help him, but in the end I had to fire that customer.
