- Bad Client Stories From the Front Lines
We’ve all been there. Whether you are in Video, Web, Graphic Design, Marketing..etc, we’ve all been in scenarios where we just couldn’t understand what the heck was going on with the client. Perhaps it was a project that you had long ago - one that made you think of doing things to the person on the other end of the phone that you only see in a Hollywood movie. Or perhaps you got yourself into a nice little legal battle because your client wanted more than they paid for. Or better yet, maybe your point of contact at said company was new there, and trying to make a name for themselves? Whatever the situation, I know there are some good stories out there and we’d like to hear them.
I used to think that I was the only one that ran into these scenarios until I started doing a lot of contract work - and seeing that a lot of other agencies and independent contractors were facing the same nightmarish clients that I had to face. And some of their clients worse than I had ever seen! Simply amazing. But, enough about me, the StormPilot, what about you? Tell we your woes.
