Today we are talking about how to avoid common problems with new clients. Whether you have many clients on your roster, or you’re looking for your first client, this episode will be really helpful for you in avoiding some common issues that we see come up. Having problems with clients is just part of working with people, whether you’re working from home or the office. So, today I will cover three common problems when working with a brand new client on a launch, and three other problems you may face when you’re working with management clients. I talk about keeping clients on track with due dates, giving difficult feedback, strategizing, and being clear and direct with your clients.
