Clients' parents

Mar 26, 2010 5:54 pm

Client second guesses everything we do, and her father look at everything.  Father voices opinion, and we have to explain ourselves all over again.

I want to turn this into an opportunity, how do I get the father's account?

If it was Jones I'd say goodnight them. Ask the old man to come in for an appointment. If nothing comes from it, sh-tcan both. Leopards don't change their spots.

Ask for it... If he says no then ask why do you think I am right for her account and not yours. Before he finishes giving you the answer, give him the finger...

Why would you even want the father for a client. He sounds like a nightmare, if he's questioning everything

how old is the client? and the father.

Just invite the father to come in with the client.

But otherwise.... if this is a 24 year old with 1k in a roth ira.... do you really need the hassle?  You do own your business? right?  Move on to someone who actually trusts you and takes your advice.

Kill him and dispose of the body in the dumpster behind your office.
