Online class in Feb: Dealing with nightmare clients

[Michelle Goodman]

Hi all,

I have a few spaces left in my upcoming online class for freelancers –
starting on Fri, Feb 4 – and wanted to spread the word. Details
follow. Feel free to tell anyone you think may be interested.

– Nightmare clients got you down? This online class can help. –

DEALING WITH NIGHTMARE CLIENTS is a four-week online course – starting
FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 4! – sponsored by the Editorial Freelancers
Association (http://www.the-efa.org). I’ll be delivering the lessons
right to your inbox, which means you can follow along from anywhere,
at your own pace, even if your own pace means working through the
lessons at 3 a.m. on a weekend. It also means you can ask me for
client management advice at any time during the course of the month.

In this class, we’ll discuss how to tame those beastly clients and
editors who seem all too happy to stiff you, mess with your deadlines,
and contact you at all hours of the night. Specifically, you’ll learn
how to:

- Chase down MIA payments and ensure you don’t get stiffed in the
future
- Handle runaway revisions and keep scope creep at bay
- Deal with clients who are always late with deliverables
- Set firmer boundaries with editors, project managers, and creative
directors
- Bolster your contracts with clauses that can help prevent scope
creep, deadline changes, and late payments
- Determine whether a troublesome client relationship is salvageable

Additional details about the class:

WHEN: Fridays, February 4 - 25 (four online sessions).

WHERE: Your computer. Each lesson will arrive in your inbox (also
accessible via Yahoo Groups on the web), which means you can follow
along at your own pace, on your own time.

COST: Editorial Freelancers Association members $134; nonmembers
$159.
