#369: The CLOWNS Framework | 6 Red Flags That Mean You Should Walk Away From a Client
Just one nightmare client can ruin your business.
One soul-sucking, scope-creeping, micromanaging clown who drains your time, sanity, and confidence.
And the frustrating thing is, you probably felt the red flags on that first call (and ignored them)…
Thinking, “it’ll be fine”…
“I’m probably overreacting…”
“I can manage them, they really do need my help”…
And my favorite: “It’s good money.”
So you said yes (even though your gut said no).
And now they’re making your life miserable.
The solution?
Stop relying on “gut feelings” and use my simple scorecard that filters out the clowns and makes it easy to say “thanks, but no thanks.”
In this week’s episode, I break down the C.L.O.W.N.S. Framework 🤡:
6 red flags you must spot on your next sales call if you want to avoid the clients from hell.
You’ll learn how to sniff out the “red flag” clients that are more trouble than they’re worth.
