This episode's for you if you have a difficult client situation to manage. At some point or other as an agency account manager, we have to manage difficult clients. It's kind of part of the job. And in this interview, I love how Dr. Mark Goulston weaves some practical tips and examples of how to manage difficult people into his engaging stories. If you're old enough to remember the OJ Simpson case, like I am, he also shares how he was subpoenaed to appear at the trial, and how he handled the moment the lawyer tried to bully him. I highly recommend Mark's book, 'Just Listen', it really does include loads of tips for managing difficult clients.
