Do You Ever Want To Bully Your Client?

Working with a new client recently I found myself in an awkward position. I wanted to convince him to move in one direction over another in order to make my work easier.

Have you ever been there?

I’ll be completely honest. I did bully my client. The theme he wanted to work with was awful. I gave it a good old college try but finally pressed him to consider going with another theme that I liked to work with that would give him a similar look.

Then, I pressed him about his choice of hosting – his preference was really difficult to work with and their servers were pitifully slow. For about a week, I bit my lip and worked with it but then I literally begged him to consider another option.

There are been some other issues that we disagreed on that I pushed him hard to see things my way.

Do you ever feel like you’re bullying your clients?

Or do you just go with their preferences no matter what?
