Clients From Heaven

My client owns a small family business. He looks very unconfident.

Me: “You may purchase my web hosting service in addition to my web design service.”

Client: “Actually…” *Looking at his wife.*

Client’s Wife: “Just speak your mind, honey.”

Client: “Actually, we would like to self-host. We can put it in our own server.”

Me: “Are you sure? Managing your own server requires quite a lot of professional knowledge.”

Client: *Hesitant.* “Yeah, I think I may know a little bit about computers… I guess?”

Client’s Wife: “Honey, stop saying you know only a little. You build your own servers, you design all the networking stuff, you operate all of our software. You are an expert, you know that?”

Client: “Oh, sorry, I may know too much…”

Client’s Wife: *To me.* “I blame his parents.”
