When to fire a Client?

Posted on March 20, 2007

An excerpt from Guerrilla Consulting.

Five telltale signs that you might want to fire a client:

  • You’ve stopped growing professionally from the client’s projects.
  • The client has disengaged from your project, leaving decisions to others.
  • It’s tough to get a meeting with your key client sponsor.
  • Your project profit margin is eroding.
  • The client nit-picks your invoices or payments are consistently late.

I might as well add some more.

  • Make a conscious effort to replenish the client base, by dropping those below the 20th percentile
  • When your exit strategies are no longer working.
  • If you cannot get renewals without burning additional cash.
