Why should you fire a client? 

  • The client requires more time than they are worth.
  • The client continuously shoots down your recommendations.
  • The client is consistently slow to pay or there are constant payment issues.
  • The client constantly nitpicks at or disputes your invoices.
  • The client has unreasonable expectations.
  • The client lacks transparency in communication.
  • The client is abusive.

Remember, it's important to prioritize your mental, financial, and professional well-being when deciding whether to fire a client. When it comes to firing a client, it's important to do so in a professional and respectful manner. Here are some tips for how to do it:

  •     Check your contract or engagement letter to see what terms you have in place to fire a client.
  •     Maintain your integrity and stay calm, rational, and polite.
  •     Give reasons for terminating the relationship, but keep emotion and name-calling out of the conversation.
  •     Never fire a client when you're angry. Take a step back to cool down before making the final call.
  •     Talk to your team members to get a second opinion.
