I need advice how to handle certain Clients


Recommended Posts

Hello,

I offer video editing services, and my Gig includes different pricing tiers based on the length of the video. For example, a 30-second video costs $30, while a 60-second video costs $45.

Unfortunately, I occasionally have clients who purchase the 30-second option but then send me videos that are 60 seconds long.

How should I handle situations like this? I havent reached out to customer support, because they haven’t been able to help usally, which is why I’m seeking your advice.

Thank you very much!

This happens frequently with voice over artists. People purchase 100 words and then send you the entire King James Bible as a script. 

Just respond as follows:  "Hi, I noticed you purchased 100 words, but provided a script of 100,000 words. Were you intending to have me read the first 100 words as a test? If not I can send an additional offer to add the additional words you provided, Thanks."

You could offer him a discount.

Send him this: "Hey, thanks for your trust and your order. I noticed that the video you provided is [60 seconds] long, but the service you selected includes a [3 0-second] video.

To proceed, we have a few options:

  1. I can edit the first 30 seconds of the video as per the original order.
  2. If you’d like the entire [60 seconds] edited, there will be an additional charge and I can make a discount on that. Offer him a discount on the difference betweed thos two prices. For Example: 30 Seconds = 20$ | 60 Seconds = 30$ | Difference is 10$. 50% on the difference would be 5$. So 25$ for the 60 Sec Video.

Remember: As soon as you have many reviews, you can charge higher prices. Means longtime you would profit

But how does that works! What are they usually saying! Today I had a really rude client! Didn't placed an order though! Which was a good thing because that would have been a disaster!
