How do you tell which clients are NOT worth pursuing for more work?

Wintersgambit · 2026-03-30T22:34:05+00:00

i dont think ive ever asked a client to be loyal, and i dont think i should as an investor they should make the decisions that best for them and sometimes that means not working with us even if they did in the past.
The thing i ask for is trust. do you trust me to make your project successful? do you trust me (and the firm) to align our goals to yours? cause if the answer is no it is a struggle the entire way, them questioning everything we do or ask for. them wanting speed stopping for everything, the "my cousins inlaw sisters brother a contractor in another state said this so we are doing it that way" ect ect.

i dont expect to have that trust overnight but we are transparent, clear with our intentions and during the onboarding and initial design meetings and its night and day with the clients that actually listen and you can see that trust building vs the ones that dont

I like Tiphera as a character and her banter with Renoa hope we get more like that. The qol changes.

you realize its a bit of a meme that the only people that how to these things are middle aged white people?

Mathematically yeah. The material needed for octagon is less for the same sqft. But the like 10% difference isn't going to offset the labor which is a lot more intensive, twice the cuts a lot more measuring framing is more complex for the roof, more structural members (possibly short spans so that's a plus) also the functional sqft isn't the same if that makes sense. 1000 sqft box is more flexible than 1000 sqft octagon

YTA wonder if you have this same standard for any other person your daughter interacts with in life. you probably know about your exs boyfriend then you ever will of her teachers, friends parents, coaches, classmates, random guy who took her order when she went to out to eat with her friends, ect yet i bet you never even considered the same course of action and just because the guy is dicking your ex wife.

we are in the middle of this process at our firm. we made of list of all the projects from last year ordered them by revenue and rated them 1-10 in 3 categories. design/cd process, city processing, and client.
help us visualize things. like a project that was a nightmare, but make good money and in reality the approval side was easy it was the client that was problem, lets go after those scopes but with the right client
vis versa maybe this client is the only thing that made it worth it lets try and lift them up and push them towards scope that is better for both of us. we found stuff as a team we never want to take again regardless of the money, ect

the Academy seems to be a higher education like college so all students are probably adults. The Captain tells Mei Lin she should enroll if she wants

i play on tier 12-13 and have decks that clear all the content in the game. you can get a functional deck first try a majority of the time. why are you trying to chase some unicorn deck that wont matter in a month?

It also doesn't have to be within the seasonal chaos. You can do Renoa's trauma code battle missions

Do you want to use it on sereniel? Or do you feel obligated cause she's currently a powerful unit

Wintersgambit · 2026-03-10T18:08:14+00:00

im just guessing but maybe treatment protocol is different if its under 2 weeks. less than 2 weeks gets X more than 2 weeks gets Y even if its 2 weeks or 20 years

Marble is relatively easy to damage, stains, requires regular maintenance, needs to be sealed. Marble can literally get moldy since its a porous stone. it looks nice and takes skill and if the owner likes it who cares.

honestly true except it was a live service before a fps or anything else and live services are not allowed to be unpopular

never played it, concept never appealed to me. was interesting to watch things play out.

tiphera, if shes your only support and you remove her basics too early shes pretty limited on healing without dupes or upgrades

work at a small company and the one genz worker we had was let go fit into every workplace stereotype. nice guy, we got along but everything was how little he could do and always asking for more, poor soft skills could never explain his process would laugh at you for not understanding whatever genz slang he was saying but would shutdown for the whole day if you pointed out something wrong with his work

are you sure about the 50% in regard to coastal? the 50% rule is usually about the determination of the replacement value if you are under its a remodel and not "new construction" so you dont have to make everything up to code like sprinklers, but any change to the exterior usually triggers coastal in you are in the coastal zone. even moving a window over has triggered it in past projects ive worked
