Working with mentally ill clients.
 

I have one who plays silly or simply is nuts. I mean, deal is deal, comes out we never had it and my $$ request comes as demand. Work's done, pay up, bitch. No, he thinks he owns a bang wagon LOL. Loves talking over the phone, damn, I get off the phone with headache, who the fuck talks on the phone these days, only Patagonia founder who still lives in a shed.
Been paying me so far, but all the circus around.

I know it's business as usual, but LOL.

The struggle is real!

It'll be ok...

Welcome to 2016...

I prefer to talk on the phone for projects only because my explanations via email often sound greek and leave people like...huh?

I have only found one amazing programmer who can figure out my fucked up email language and he's worth his weight in gold to me. But he will still get on the phone when I need him to.

I've found it's best not to have clients.

You cant get me to work for you these days. Affiliate programs only, and I only do it my own way, by myself. Dont have time for phone bullshit or long walks on the beach.

Best way to communicate with clients/developers is Slack.

:1orglaugh

i like the title but... i guess this could be related to psychological aspects of your clients .possibly they are not completely ready to pay/ lack the right mindset and acting like this as part of communication ?lool though i'm not generalizing here :)

I am the same, got rid of my last client last year and that was the best day, actually celebrated by giving myself a massive hangover and gave myself the day off :1orglaugh

Fuck clients, just a nightmare to deal with.

I ran out of my medications

Ah so you working with jerkules?



Yep he's a retard..

Slack is pretty cool. Like a productive GFY if there ever was one.:1orglaugh:thumbsup

Some people talk on the phone to avoid confusion. I know plenty of people which sends me SMS or e-mail and I really have no clue what they've trying to say.

Some people talk on the phone just to get some "hey buddy, human level" expecting better prices or some other advantage.

Some people talk on the phone because they are inpatient and don't want to wait hours to receive reply to an e-mail.

...and if you wont get on the phone don't expect to do business with me.

I enjoy discussing the subtle nuances of poo over the phone to anyone who will listen to me :2 cents:

I stick to affiliate programs too :thumbsup I can leave things to run on their own without getting phone calls.

Email seems clearer to me, always seems unnecessary to go on phone or Skype, I might end up agreeing to something without having had enough time to think about it

Sorry, someone beat you to it

Nope, already running text chats on poo.com - You can even create your own conspiracy room if you like :) Try it lol

when i do work for a client i prefer phone calls. I only had 1 really horrible client over the years but that was also due to myself in severely underestimating the project. Hated every second of it.

Then the guy emailed me a few months back for a same type of project... i declined.

Would the conspiracies have to be about poo?

No, you are welcome to make your own room (call it whatever you like) that appears at the top left and bring in whoever you like.

Thanks, is poo.com yours?

Oh no, defiantly not. I would NEVER register such a disgusting URL. What if it came back to haunt me when I'm older? *shudder*

No, not mine, I DONT like poo, at all... Not even a skidmarks worth.

OK. To clarify - No it is no way connected to me whatsoever.

My chat site is a paid chat site.

Enjoy :)

I would agree with the free ones working for themselves. I've been working for clients all the years and missed the traffic wagon, so would mean a zero start for me if i go clean slate.
Anyone wanna be my mentor?

Going to buy 100 tickets tonight
