So you have a nightmare client...
Read This First: Angry Client Management — How to Post + Community Rules
This is an open discussion space to help you handle tough client situations professionally (and protect your peace + your business).
Before you post
- Take a breath. Don’t reply to an angry client while you’re activated.
- If you’re unsure what to say, post here first and we’ll help you draft a response.
What to include in your post (so we can actually help)
- What service they had + when
- What the client is upset about (exact words if possible)
- What you’ve already said/done
- What outcome you want (keep them, refund, redo, boundary, fire the client)
- Any relevant policies you have (late/cancel, refunds, aftercare, fills, etc.)
Privacy + professionalism (required)
- Do not post the client’s full name, phone number, socials, or screenshots showing personal info
- You can paste text with names removed (ex: “Client A”)
- No shaming, doxxing, or “dragging” clients—keep it professional and solution-focused
How we respond in this space
- We’ll focus on: de-escalation, clear boundaries, policy-based decisions, and scripts you can copy/paste
- Expect direct, honest guidance (always respectful)
Quick safety rule If you feel unsafe or threatened, stop engaging and prioritize your safety (document everything and escalate appropriately).
Coach response time Heather replies within 24–48 hours (Mon–Fri). Community members are welcome to jump in sooner with support and ideas.
Optional tags (use in your post title)
- [Refund Request] [Redo Request] [Bad Review Threat] [Late/No-Show] [Retention Complaint] [Policy Pushback] [Boundary Setting]
