Comments on: How to Explain to a Client They’re Wrong http://www.thesambarnes.com/web-project-management/how-to-explain-to-a-client-theyre-wrong/ Web Project Management Wed, 01 Sep 2010 10:27:32 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=abc By: thesambarnes http://www.thesambarnes.com/web-project-management/how-to-explain-to-a-client-theyre-wrong/comment-page-1/#comment-686 thesambarnes Sun, 17 Jan 2010 23:34:16 +0000 http://www.thesambarnes.com/?p=716#comment-686 Cheers Rob, I too have that reputation - sometimes it's a blessing, other times it sure is a curse! But I do find it's the best way to manage a client from the beginning given you have to work with them for a good few months at the very least. One of my next articles will be one you'll recognise where the inspiration came from ;) I think you'll do a giggle.

Thought I'd comment here as there's already enough comments over there :) It's a great post. I especially agree with the opening gambit about the client might not be wrong. Unless I can prove that they are wrong, generally, I just like to discuss the issue with the client to find the common ground before saying anything aout them being wrong. I also agree with being direct and using with caution. I have a reputation for being very direct, however it has served me well more times than it has caused issues, as clients do appreciate honesty. Great post, and look forward to your next articles! Sam,
