Un cliente inestable carece de foco, de estrategia, de objetivos a corto y medio plazo. Habría que tener una sesión con el cliente, para escucharle, entender el por qué de esa situación e intentar ayudarle. Acordar unos objetivos a corto plazo inamovibles, puede ser el principio de la tan deseada "estabilidad". Si esto no se consigue después de brindar nuestra ayuda, y dise?ar un plan conjunto, habría que plantearse si merece la pena continuar con la relación.

Before coming up with plans to salvage the relationship I suggest doing a needs analysis to determine why you're trying to save the relationship. Are they profitable? Increase your reach? Allow access to an intangible? If they simply provide income - I would reevaluate the relationship and make sure it is healthy enough to save. Are they participating, profitable? Or are they anchors you're allowing to hang around because " they've been here so long". Reevaluate. Do t have to be mean. It's business. Before discarding them, however, truly evaluate and weigh the risks/benefits. But don't be afraid to reducing the relationship.

To salvage a peer support relationship with a flaky client, start by setting clear boundaries and expectations regarding communication and planning. Address the issue directly but diplomatically, expressing your commitment to the project and the need for consistency. Offer to establish a more structured approach, such as regular check-ins or progress updates, to keep everyone aligned. Focus on building trust by being transparent about how changes impact timelines and deliverables. Finally, remain patient and adaptable, showing your willingness to collaborate despite challenges.
