Exactly. The longer you wait to address the issue, the more unhappy the client – and that puts you at risk of losing the gig entirely! Thanks, Jun!

A copywriter should not ignore issues with unhappy clients

Discussing issues/problems with clients immediately will help gain their trust. They will feel that you are not just after the completion of the task but you are also concerned about their business.

Pretty great advice for dealing with clients in any writing field.

I’ve personally found it valuable to try to screen for clients who have a short fuse, so I don’t need to deal with too much anger or frustration.

You can usually tell these types in advance… Always complaining about the frustration they’ve been going through dealing with this freelancer and that freelancer. It’s kind of like an endless cycle.

It’s just like in any other area of life: you’re better off avoiding the perpetually bitter, angry and unlucky, because of both the damage they can cause you and the way they can influence you.
