In this episode of Thursdays with Wayne & Steve, the hosts tackle the tough but necessary topic of firing customers. Wayne and Steve dive into the signs that it’s time to cut ties with a problematic client, exploring how to assess when the drama outweighs the revenue. They break down the common red flags—late payments, unrealistic expectations, and constant complaints—and discuss how to weigh those against the value of keeping a customer on the books.

The duo also highlights when not to fire a customer, stressing the importance of separating emotion from business decisions. They offer practical tips on determining just how much hassle is too much, sharing personal stories of clients who pushed the boundaries of professionalism.

Most importantly, Wayne and Steve cover the critical part: what to say when it’s time to let a customer go. They share professional yet firm scripts for maintaining your dignity and reputation while showing a bad customer the door.

This episode is a must-listen for any pool service professional trying to navigate the tricky waters of customer relationships!
