How to Pre-Qualify Clients?
I currently have two clients and one of them for my resume rewriting service is becoming a bit difficult to deal with.
She contacted me about two weeks ago about my resume rewriting service and we spoke on the phone about what she needed. I rewrote her resume in a couple of hours that day and emailed it back to her. (Which I probably shouldn't have done without payment)
She emails me back a day or two later saying she has more content she didn't show me to add. I tell her we should meet in person and go over it together so we can do it in real time instead of via email. She hasn't gotten back to me and it's been nearly a week- I'm wondering if she's worth the effort for only $40. I'm thinking of just dropping her and finding someone else who needs a quick turnaround.
What do you do to pre-qualify people who may not be worth your time or clients who become difficult to handle? I want to avoid this in the future.
