No discussion regarding the evaluation and development of a new business program is
free from problems and disputes. At the time when I consult with the clients I have observed that
the clients has a lot to say regarding the new project. Many authors state that the foremost quality
of an efficient consultant is that, he/she needs to be a good listener while managing problems (Ro
& Wong, 2012). During the initial meeting, it is my duty to show respect to the client and
empathize the client for the problems and issues experienced by him/her. I always maintain the
general rules of courtesy because if the attitude of mine seems to be defensive to the client, the
client will not give any material information in future to me. When I encounter any problem
regarding a new business program, I handle the problems in the following way:
First, I listen the client very carefully, when the problems and issues stated by the client.
It is my duty to must keep in mind that not interrupt in the middle because it is considered to be a
wrongful courtesy. After the completion of the client, I usually ask inquisitive questions. I think
it t is the duty of mine to paraphrase and recapitulate to get a clearer picture regarding the issues
and problems. Sometimes I feel that a meeting is important to follow up the matters for further
clarifications. In these cases I always provide an overview regarding the previous achievements
and why the meeting is necessary. I always keep me calm and patient to handle the problems. I
got the ideas from reading several books on management. Manage complaints efficiently
enhance the loyalty between consultant and client (Goodman, 2006).
