Read her quote below and take a look at the full article here.
Five experts from different work at home industries were asked to explain their methods for dealing with stressful clients. Here’s our answer:
I advise looking the situation from the clients point of view before becoming too frustrated. What are their goals, deadlines, struggles, possible struggles and see if this can help you re-frame their difficult behaviour. If this doesn’t work, take a deep breathe, take a walk and calm down before responding if the situation allows. Offer a solution that benefits both parties. If things cannot be resolved or the customers is unwilling to resolve things, this is the time to part ways, respectfully.
