Know when to spend money
Posted in Amusing on July 12th, 2010 by adminCheck this excerpt, from clientsfromhell.net. What a disaster!
If ever there was a story to encourage you to spend that little bit extra to get a pro in, this is it. We all count the pennies, and that’s great. I’m sure all the self made millionaires have done that. But you just gotta know where your own expertise reach their limits. Do what you do well, even do it amazingly, and let other people help you.
Client: “That’s way too much money to charge for an email campaign. It’s not hard to put a few graphics in an email.”
Designer: “I charge based off of my regular hourly rate and that’s how long it will take to complete the project.”
Client: “Forget it. We’ll just do it in house. We have a copy of Dreamweaver.”

Client: “Can you talk for a second?”
Designer: “Sure.”
Client: “OK. We made that email campaign, but I can’t figure out why all of the links take me to the unsubscribe page.”
Designer: “I’m not sure. Is this a test email you’re talking about? I can finish the project for you based on my hourly rate.”
Client: “Well…no. We already sent it.”
The client sent an email campaign to a list of 74,000 customers with every link in the email being a one-click unsubscribe.
