What are your criteria for working with a customer?

Question

Freelance

It's about if you work through a freelance platform. Does the reputation of the Customer on the site matter and is important to you? Should I pay attention to it and why?

Answer 1

if the customer pays me anyway.

Answer 2

Positive feedback, high rating - a good customer, more than one / two negative reviews - worth considering (and even then not a fact). A low rating or nothing at all yet - I’m already looking at TK, adequate or there will be problems. Basically, TK plays a big role, and reviews and ratings are secondary (as for me).

Answer 3

No, it doesn't, because reputation is usually built on new projects, and when support is needed, it's immediately in the bushes. I watch how a person communicates, whether he thinks for me, whether he offers something or just does as he is told, even if this decision is not optimal. I can get inside - see how everything is done (what is the layout, what is the programming), is it easy to change this system, how flexible is the layout?

Answer 4

Low average customer rate - minus. This means that even if he agrees to your high rate, then most likely he has planned to save somewhere.
A new customer, while you yourself have no reviews - tolerable. My first 2 customers had no reviews and I had no reviews. They worked great. Everything is fair.

Answer 5

Oh sure.
I always looked at the reviews of other people who worked with him, one, two negatives are not scary, in this case I start reading their story
, for example, my boss has a negative review on fl.ru with a large number of positive ones, I read the dialogues in the review ... well, yes, there are also inadequate among freelancers, and yes there are many of them)) especially among designers (no offense to designers, many designers will agree with me) I
also google about a person, sometimes there is a lot of interesting things, and if that person is an active participant in a swing party, I’m fine, then the facts of the kidalov are forced to think))))
