Raised retainer on 2 clients by $500, 90 days later I finally saw why it worked
I ran a small web shop from my spare room in Boise and all my clients paid around $1,200 a month. In January I bumped two of them to $1,700 each. I did not add more hours, I just quit letting them text me at 9pm about button colors. Those two clients barely blinked and one referred a friend in March. The other three that I left alone still eat up most of my Monday. Has anyone else found that the smaller retainer was the thing making clients act worse, not the work itself?
