Comments on: An (Unofficial) Client Rating Scale http://freelancefolder.com/an-unofficial-client-rating-scale/ The Blog For Freelancers And Web-Workers Thu, 24 May 2012 11:21:06 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.2 By: Melanie http://freelancefolder.com/an-unofficial-client-rating-scale/comment-page-1/#comment-58874 Melanie Fri, 14 Jan 2011 19:21:59 +0000 http://freelancefolder.com/?p=6886#comment-58874 The one trait of Clients from Hell that you missed are the ones who want something that is impossible, then get mad at you or insult your skills because you can't do it. These are the ones who want you to add a DVD menu to a VHS, or "zoom out" of a photo so you can see a person who wasn't caught by the camera, or to erase things from other people's sites. When you try to explain it's not possible, they get mad and tell you that you're no good at what you do and so they will hire someone who knows what they are doing instead.

I also just created a site for us freelancers that allows us to rate the clients that we work with on several different categories. It's mainly to help other freelancers out when it comes to deciding whether or not to take on a project. It's called Freelancer Reports and I would love for some of you to check it out and see if you find it useful. It currently is only for clients that you deal with on Freelance websites but I hope in the future to make it for any client, anywhere, on or offline (that's the goal at least!). Look forward to the constructive criticism! Very cool article, and I’ve dealt with pretty much every Client type you listed as well.

Lucky for me, most of my clients are in the 3-4 range. I only have one #1, but she's a doozy. Love this article. Lucky for me, most of my clients are in the 3-4 range.

As I was reading I was picturing in my mind those clients that fit the #1 and 2 lists. Fortunately, it reminded me that most of my clients are 4's which I am very grateful for. Brian:
