Description
“The customer is always right” is the biggest lie in business.
One toxic, bargain-hunting client can drain your time, your margin, and your team’s sanity.
But the real damage?
Your best clients notice.
A-players don’t stick around when you tolerate chaos. They want standards. They want a velvet rope. If you serve everyone, you signal you’re not built for excellence.
So make it clear who doesn’t get in.
Today’s Move: Post this line publicly —
“A quick reminder of who we don’t work with…”
Then list the behaviors: cheap seekers, boundary-breakers, people who don’t do the work.
The moment you raise the standard, the right clients show up.
