Chapters

One of our very first clients in 2003 was a pain in the neck. They were extremely demanding and made us do tens of iterations on something that should have been capped at 2 iterations. Even after we did everything for them, they took months to pay us. But little did I know, this client eventually brought us 3 other clients, one of whom was an established business to which I sold a very lucrative project. Our patience had paid off. Go above and beyond for your very first clients. Put up with attitude because your survival is on the line. If you think I'm wrong, let me know.
