What’s the dumbest way you’ve ever received a document from a client?

Unconventional Document Submissions: Sharing Our Most Outlandish Experiences

In the world of client communications, we often find ourselves navigating a myriad of unexpected surprises. One question that frequently pops up in business settings is: “What’s the strangest way you’ve received a document from a client?”

I’d like to kick off our discussion with a personal anecdote. There was a time when a client forwarded me a photograph of a PDF displayed on their iPad. But here’s the kicker: the image was taken using a Samsung phone! Naturally, we still had to go through the painstaking process of manually processing that invoice.

If you’ve ever experienced the challenges of unconventional document submissions, I’m sure you can empathize with my story. From handwritten notes to upside-down scans and files ominously titled “Image(345).jpg,” we’ve seen it all.

I invite you to share your own experiences! What’s the most unusual or perplexing document submission you’ve encountered? Join me in this conversation and let’s take a moment to laugh about the chaos that often comes with our profession. I’m currently gathering these stories for an initiative aimed at alleviating some of these frustrations. Remember, you’re not alone in this!

Let’s hear your tales!
