I don’t hold clients hostage to a bad contract.

I don’t extort money from them to keep them around. And I don’t use excuse after excuse to try to convince them why stuff isn’t working.

All that crap is exhausting. And too damn drama filled for me. You want out? I relinquish you. And I wish you well.

Sad that other marketing companies don’t operate this way. Oh, the stories I could share. Oh wait, I have shared them in my books and social posts.

Why these companies force clients to stick around and continue to pay for shit that isn’t working especially when the client is unhappy just irritates me beyond belief. That company doesn’t care about the client, they only care about the monies involved.

And making the client stick around and shell out more money for awful results does what? I’ll tell ya… it makes the client despise everything about you. They will tell their friends. They will complain to every online review site they can find. They will make the remaining days under forced contract a shit show at best. And the marketing company will spend countless wasted hours responding to them trying desperately just to buy time to get that final payment.

Nope. Not worth it.

And precisely why I stopped using contracts years ago. I keep things simple. If you want out, I ask for a 30 day notice. It doesn’t have to be in writing. Just tell me. That’s it, simple.

The fact is, many of my clients have been with me for years. I have their backs. I’m their friend first and they are my client second. I give them respect. I help them grow. I look out for them. And if they choose to leave, we part as friends.
