Today, on a freelancer app I use to do short-term gigs to find long-term clients for my company, a rude, demanding client dumped me for a "more experienced, successful" company. They sent me a link, saying I could learn a thing or two. I own the company. FML

OP here. No exciting reply to the wannabe client, I opted to only politely declined to work with them. Glad I did because a colleague did take them on and they changed the project repeatedly and refused to pay for the work. Bullet dodged, but now I wish I had been snarky.

No OP absolutely needs to show up as if he has no idea who they are and make them feel like idiots

"Today I stopped working with a company because I was going to work with a more sucessful one. I also sent the owner of the previous company a ver rude email, telling him he should lear something from them. Turns out he's owning both companies FML!"

Should make it so you have to have a face to face meeting with them, so you can watch their faces implode

Don't book them on anything, and wait for them to run back to you again.

Tell the client mind or own business and you call the shots if you needed their input you would pay them for it
