15 Types of Clients and How to Work With Them (Based on Real Taskmojo Experience)

Learn how Taskmojo tailors its support to deliver exceptional results for every client personality.

At Taskmojo, we’ve worked with hundreds of clients—coaches, CEOs, consultants, healers, agency owners, and first-time entrepreneurs. One of the most important things we’ve learned is this: great results come from knowing your client.

Some are anxious. Some are perfectionists. Others trust you completely. As a virtual assistant, digital marketer, or website designer, adapting to client personalities is half the job.

Below is a detailed breakdown of the 15 types of clients we’ve worked with at Taskmojo—and how we tailor our approach to each one.

1. The Uncertain Client

These clients usually reach out with questions like:

We’ve worked with many clients in this position—especially coaches and solopreneurs juggling too many things. For example, one life coach approached us with no clear plan but knew her business was suffering due to poor visibility. We offered a free discovery session, created a roadmap, and started with manageable weekly tasks. Over time, we helped her launch a website, automate her email marketing, and streamline client bookings.

How we work with them:

We start small. We offer clarity, education, and light structure. We check in more often and explain our process so they don’t feel lost. Taskmojo’s Freemium Plan is perfect for them—it gives them a chance to try us out before committing.

2. The Urgent Client

This client doesn’t want to talk much. They just want the work done—fast. They’ll often say something like:

A digital marketing agency from Los Angeles came to us needing last-minute social media posts and landing page updates for an upcoming event. Because we offer hourly-based pricing and real-time task tracking through Toggl, we quickly allocated resources and delivered within 24 hours. They were thrilled—and came back for retainer support.

How we work with them:

We skip the fluff and go straight to action. We prioritize communication via Slack and update them as we go. Our project-based pricing lets us scale up resources fast without getting stuck in scope debates.

3. The Indecisive Client

These clients second-guess everything. They’ll approve a logo, then want it changed a week later. They can’t decide between Kajabi and Teachable, Mailchimp or ConvertKit.

One client—a therapist—couldn’t decide on her homepage layout. We built two working versions using Wix, allowed her to test both, and then provided user feedback from sample viewers. That helped her make a decision based on data, not just emotion.

How we work with them:

We give options, not ultimatums. We build flexibility into our timelines and budget time for revision rounds. Website design projects for this type of client always include mockups and mood boards.

4. The Unresponsive Client

You’ll send a proposal or project update and hear nothing for days—maybe weeks. Then suddenly, they’re back and asking if the task is ready.

We had a tax consultant who would disappear mid-project and resurface during tax season. To manage the relationship, we set up automated reminders, structured weekly check-ins, and shifted from calendar deadlines to milestone-based tracking. That way, we stayed productive whether she was available or not.

How we work with them:

We automate follow-ups, document everything in project management tools, and stay ready to resume work anytime. Our virtual assistant service helps unresponsive clients stay organized.

5. The Budget-Conscious Client

They’re constantly comparing quotes, asking for discounts, or saying:

One nonprofit founder needed SEO services but had a very tight budget. We created a $200/month content plan that delivered one high-ranking blog per week. With this low-cost strategy, they moved from page 6 to page 1 on Google in just 10 weeks.

How we work with them:

We build lean, scalable packages. We explain ROI clearly and deliver results in phases. Our subscription plans are ideal for long-term impact with short-term affordability.

6. The Tech-Savvy Client

These clients know their way around tools. They ask about analytics, bounce rates, page speed, and conversion metrics. One eCommerce entrepreneur hired us to redesign her Shopify site and asked for custom GA4 event tracking.

How we work with them:

We speak their language. We give detailed insights, share dashboards, and suggest automation tools they may not be using. We’re fluent in tools like Zapier, ConvertKit, Ubersuggest, and Google Workspace. These clients often stick with us for ongoing SEO and monthly reporting.

7. The Traditional Client

They’re old-school. Prefer emails to Zoom. Hate Slack. Want printed PDFs. We worked with a local real estate agent who didn’t want “fancy stuff”—just a clean website and someone to manage his inbox.

How we work with them:

We keep communication simple and respectful. We don’t push tools unless needed. We provide basic admin services like calendar booking and email management that make their workday easier.

8. The Detail-Oriented Client

These clients notice everything. Font size, color spacing, button shapes—nothing gets past them.

One copywriting agency hired us to create a landing page. They wanted every word and pixel aligned with their tone. We handled multiple revision rounds, added pixel-perfect visuals, and matched their branding exactly.

How we work with them:

We don’t cut corners. We document everything, ask for brand guides early, and offer unlimited revisions within scope. These clients love our graphic design and premium landing page packages.

9. The Big-Picture Client

They don’t want to hear about how. They want to know what the result will be. A crypto coach hired us to build a funnel but said, “Just handle it—I don’t want the details.”

How we work with them:

We provide a high-level view and deliverables that align with their outcome goals. These clients usually benefit from end-to-end service bundles like email setup + website design + content writing + automation.

10. The Passive Client

They don’t engage much. If you ask too many questions, they’ll ghost you. They want to delegate and disappear.

A wellness retreat host hired us to manage her blog but only replied once every two weeks. We used templates, set up a hands-off review system, and provided a monthly dashboard summary.

How we work with them:

We reduce touchpoints, automate reporting, and use retainer plans for stability. Our content services are perfect for passive clients who just want to receive and approve.

11. The Demanding Client

This client is intense. They expect quick turnarounds, constant updates, and often message late at night with “urgent” changes. One wellness coach we supported asked us to redesign her Wix site—and requested three complete layout revisions in two days. It could’ve gone sideways, but we leaned in with professional boundaries and clear communication.

How we work with them:

We stay composed. We clarify what’s possible within the scope and what falls into extras. We provide structured feedback rounds and offer fast solutions without burning out. These clients often grow to respect Taskmojo for our professionalism and honest communication. Project-based pricing helps set expectations.

12. The Experimental Client

They want to try everything—A/B testing, trend-jumping, shiny new tools. We had a YouTube creator who asked us to test five different thumbnail designs, three titles, and two video descriptions for every post. Their curiosity was exciting but needed structure.

How we work with them:

We harness their energy through controlled experiments. We help them set KPIs, organize tests using Trello, and analyze results through Google Analytics, Ubersuggest and Semrush. These clients love our digital marketing service bundles, where testing is part of the strategy, not chaos.

13. The Loyal Client

These are the dream clients. They trust your work, communicate clearly, and treat you like part of their team. One of our longest-standing clients is a Reiki healer who started with a single landing page. Three years later, we manage her website, email list, SEO blogs, and social media—all because we earned her trust.

How we work with them:

We invest back into the relationship. We offer perks, early access to new services, and even help with backend tasks like invoicing and automation. Our pricing plans work well for long-term loyalty, ensuring consistent support and results.

14. The Data-Driven Client

They’re obsessed with stats—conversion rates, open rates, traffic sources, ROI. We once worked with a SaaS founder who wanted weekly SEO and social media reports, full funnel tracking, and audience segmentation analytics.

How we work with them:

We track everything. From SEO ranking reports using Semrush & Ubersuggest to campaign dashboards via Google Analytics and Mailchimp, we make every move measurable. These clients thrive when paired with SEO and email marketing strategies that are rich in data and performance tracking.

15. The Control Freak Client

They want to approve everything—from colors to commas. They don’t trust outsourcing and often micromanage. One e-commerce startup founder we worked with insisted on reviewing every Canva graphic and every single caption before posting.

How we work with them:

We create a sense of partnership, not pushback. We give them access to the Trello board, create detailed project timelines, and set deadlines for approvals. Once they feel in control, they become easier to manage. Our collaborative virtual assistant service is a perfect fit for this personality type.
