147. When to Fire a Consulting Client


Listen Later

In this episode, Melisa tackles a common challenge faced by many consultants—deciding when and if to part ways with a client.

The dilemma of firing a client is a complex one that every consultant faces at some point. On one hand, there's the desire to make the client relationship work, not wanting to be seen as a quitter, and the revenue that the client brings in. But on the other hand, there's the toll it can take on your peace of mind and the potential harm to your overall business. 

It's a tough decision that requires careful consideration, weighing the short-term gains against the long-term consequences. Sometimes, parting ways with a client can lead to a healthier business and a better quality of life. It's all about finding that delicate balance.


But when is it the right time to let go of a client?


Drawing from personal experience, Melisa shares a robust framework to assist consultants in navigating this challenging decision. She delves into distinguishing clear reasons and navigating the gray areas, helping you understand your role in the client relationship and make strategic decisions.


Whether you're currently grappling with this decision or preparing for the future, this episode offers valuable insights and actionable steps to elevate your consulting business.
