Here are some potential flags to look out for when receiving inquiries from customers:
Vague or unclear requests: If a customer’s request is unclear or lacks detail, it may be a sign that they are not serious about the project or are not sure what they want.
Unrealistic expectations: If a customer’s expectations are unrealistic or they are asking for something that is not feasible, it may be a sign that they are not a good fit for your services.
Price-focused inquiries: If a customer’s main concern is the price and they are not interested in discussing the details of the project, it may be a sign that they are not serious about the project or are looking for the cheapest option.
Lack of responsiveness: If a customer is slow to respond to your inquiries or does not provide the information you need to move forward, it may be a sign that they are not serious about the project or are not a good fit for your services.
Negative reviews or feedback: If a customer has a history of leaving negative reviews or feedback for other businesses, it may be a sign that they are difficult to work with or have unrealistic expectations.
Inconsistent or unreliable communication: If a customer is inconsistent or unreliable in their communication, it may be a sign that they are not serious about the project or are not a good fit for your services.
Lack of respect or professionalism: If a customer is disrespectful or unprofessional in their communication, it may be a sign that they are difficult to work with or may not be a good fit for your services.
