roxanneupnorth 106 Posted May 7, 2011 The customer is not always right......I do not do crap even if that is what the client wants......As you can imagine I am quite "blunt" when I tell clients like that to hit the road.....The profit in the long run from doing good work is far greater than what you can make by thinking the "customer is always right"..... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

roxanneupnorth 106 Posted May 7, 2011 Neron you just do not get it......If you stick to your guns you make more money than if you try to be a "pleaser"....You will end up with higher quality and higher profit jobs.....So in the short term you may lose out, but in the long run it works out....
