Have you ever wanted to fire a client?<\/p>\n

The anxiety that comes with not being happy working with someone can paralyze you. I know, it’s happened to me.<\/p>\n

You open your email and you see their name. Your blood pressure rises. You read every little inflection in their emails with a negative voice. You complain to your colleagues (hopefully not on public social media!) and your family about said client.<\/p>\n

It’s time to fire them.<\/p>\n

But here’s the thing – it’s business, it’s not personal.<\/strong><\/p>\n

That’s what we talk about in today’s training call: How to Fire a Client.<\/p>\n

There is a good process that you can use that will help you to still be a good business owner even when you are ceasing your working relationship with them.<\/p>\n

I like to describe it as transitioning your client out of your business. It’s kinder, and it really helps to take the emotion out of it.<\/p>\n

On today’s call we cover why you might fire a client, tips on how to do it all professionally and easily, what you should (and should not!) provide to them after your relationship ends,\u00a0and what your responsibilities\u00a0are in the transition.<\/p>\n

I really want to hear your feedback on this training.<\/strong><\/p>\n

I get a lot of people telling me they never looked at things this way, so I’d love to hear if you got some good advice out of this one!<\/p>\n

Believe me, I have transitioned MANY clients over my almost 19 years in business, and as I say in the video,\u00a0there is probably only one ex-client\u00a0who I would never contact again. So my tips work! \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
