Bad-Client Triage & Firing System

Excel scorecard that computes your effective hourly rate per client and gives an automatic verdict: FIRE, FIX, or KEEP.

$29.00

Product Description

"She wanted the sun and the moon and the stars for 400 bucks." — a freelancer on Quora, describing the client every agency owner knows. If that sentence made you think of a name, this system is for you.

Some clients don't pay you — they cost you. The scope-creep kings. The late payers. You keep them because firing feels financially terrifying. This system replaces the fear with arithmetic.

The Bad-Client Triage & Firing System is an Excel scorecard that computes the truth per client: your EFFECTIVE hourly rate, a 0–100 pain score, and an automatic verdict: FIRE, FIX, or KEEP. Then it answers "can I afford to fire them?" by comparing the revenue at risk against your replacement pipeline.

WHAT'S INSIDE: Client-Profitability-Scorecard.xlsx (Client Register with 5 sample clients, Scorecard with automatic verdicts, Affordability sheet). Plus Red-Flag-Inventory.md (4 firing signals), Fire-Fix-Keep-Decision-Matrix.md, Exit-Scripts-and-Handover.md (professional templates, not legal advice), README.md.

Honest notes: Microsoft Excel desktop or web, no macros. Every formula error-guarded. The pipeline math uses YOUR close-rate estimate — be conservative. $29 one-time, commercial license, instant download. 30-day money-back guarantee.
