Ask How do you handle clients who expect to jump the queue and receive priority treatment every time?

[Brendan]

A queue simply means the order in which you handle work based on when projects were booked or agreed upon. Some clients believe their project should always come first, regardless of what else you have going on, and they push for faster responses or early delivery on every job. That kind of pressure can disrupt your whole schedule and affect other clients who are also waiting. It is a situation many freelancers deal with but rarely talk about openly. How do you manage clients who constantly expect to be treated as your top priority?
