How trainers and clients should behave
Today is a short post about friendship is not for sale. With this topic, I would like to end the discussion on teacher-student relationship.
Your students pay you. And if you cross the line of neutrality, enter into friendly relations, many problems immediately arise.
Checklist for the trainer
I have several recommendations that will help you avoid many uncomfortable questions and student losses:
Do not enter into debt with students: do not take or give money.
Distance yourself as much as possible from passing money from hand to hand. Do not discuss money issues: prices for lessons, salaries, economic situation in the country.
Do not waste time with students who come for free. The value of classes at a huge discount drops dramatically.
Ideal if you and your students will not be discussing tuition fees. Delegate this question to other people.
At this point I would like to conclude the topic of the relationship between the trainer and the students and move on to another. Next time I will tell you how to implement in practice an ideal system of relationships with a client.
