Bad Clients

My client owed my company nearly $5 million. I went to their office to collect a payment. The CEO wasn’t there, so I walked into the CFO’s office instead. In staffing, payroll is due every week—miss it and you’re in serious trouble. The CFO told me they weren’t allowed to release the funds I needed.

The CFO called the CEO to him that was asking for my payment. I had left their facility and CEO called me to tell that if asked for the money he would fire me and my company. I said that you are not going to fire me, I am firing you and your company. The CEO said that I wouldn’t dare to fire him. I told him that in fifteen minutes he would a fax that said we were not going to provide the labor they needed. A few weeks the CEO went to prison for running off with the investors money.

Another client was paying too little to be able to get the workers they needed. I told the CEO that he was not going get the labor unless he raised the wages. He said your competitor said they can get us the workers. I asked him how many people he had today, and his face said everything. I told him if didn’t increase the wages he would lose his clients, four of these clients failed to get labor.

They lost four clients and their leaders said that we were responsible for their failure, but the blame was on the leaders who would not pay enough to be able acquire the workers who could get paid a lot better.

You should walk away from bad clients and find a better client, one that will pay you on time and treat you as part of their company.
