In this episode, I share how I handle these situations and turn them around.

Listen below.

0:53 I believe there’s no bigger challenge than turning an unhappy client into a satisfied one (and then earning back their trust).

4:10 Some people like to test limits, so it’s important to set clear boundaries and show them you won’t tolerate their behavior.
