Client Management For Nice People: Jaw-dropping client experiences (and how they changed us.)

Episode transcriptions

From then on, he tells us a tale protagonist by a (former) celebrity of the holistic environment whose only concern was to remain famous and his partners with very strong opinions about absolutely everything.
Doing the proper background check and finding out who actually makes the decisions goes a long way, and so does trusting your instincts.
Who would have thought that the advice "Don't get into bed with somebody that you don't know really well" would also be a valuable lesson in the business world? Stephanie Schwab, our sharer for today's story, didn't follow this advice, which led to her client-horror story.
