Raise your hand if you\u2019ve ever felt a pit of dread whenever you see a particular coaching<\/span> client\u2019s name pop up in your scheduling calendar or email inbox.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yikes – nothing puts a drag on your day quite like nightmare clients<\/span> you hate working with.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But as a business owner, you don\u2019t have to remain locked in with a client<\/span> hindering your coaching<\/span> business instead of helping it grow. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yes – you have permission to fire clients<\/span>! Here is how to fire a client<\/span> so you can start breathing again. As a coach, your own mental well-being is as important as that of your clients, so look out for yourself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When to Fire a Client<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Firing client<\/span>s is rarely fun. But unfortunately, it comes with the territory of being your own boss. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Unlike finding new clients<\/a>, coaches rarely \u2018dream\u2019 of the day they can fire a client<\/span>. But just like clients<\/span> can fire you, you have every right to fire a client<\/span> when the client <\/span>relationship no longer works for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019re not sure whether or not you should fire a client<\/span>, here are some signs to look out for.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"How<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

1. Your coaching client is always trying to lowball you<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

You\u2019ve taken the time to establish your pricing, and whether your offer is a low ticket or a high ticket price,<\/a> your prices<\/span> are your prices<\/span>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some potential clients<\/span> may decide to haggle with you about those prices<\/span>. It\u2019s up to you to stand your ground, especially if you offer signature packages<\/a>. After all, previous clients<\/span> paid a certain price<\/span>, so it wouldn\u2019t really be fair to them if you gave a discount to anyone who just asks for it, right? You’re a small business<\/a> and need to stay afloat somehow!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You\u2019re entitled to give discounts if it feels right to you. But once someone becomes your client<\/span> and signs your contract, both parties should respect the agreement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When you have a client<\/span> who constantly fights with you to lower the price<\/span> of your sessions or \u2018get a discount on the next session\u2019, this can get draining really quickly. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here\u2019s the thing – your client<\/span> signed the agreement<\/a>, and as a result, they said they agreed to your prices<\/span>. At this point, arguing over your pricing shouldn\u2019t even be a question.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Imagine going to your car dealership every single month after buying a car and asking for a discount on this month\u2019s car payment. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This particular client<\/span> type may also try to do the following:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
