Is it wrong to disagree and argue with a client?

[King Belieal]

One of my clients came around today and wanted my services. As a professional, I knew that what he was expectant of was not the best for him. And I tried to make him see reasons because that service would have my brand signature on it when it gets out.

The client was adamant. I had to do what he wanted and avoid my signature on the final product.

I want to ask, as a pro business person, is it right to disagree with a customer over the choice of your products he wants to buy?

Why not for the mere facts we are humans with different choices we would always have an argument. But it is to have a very healthy one that is the fact

If it is something I cannot do then I will tell them my mind and if in the end I can't do the job then someone else can take it. But there are some cases where after telling them what I think about it and they still insist I do it. If I can actually do it, I just go ahead with it.

I would personally stop patronising any customer that would argue with me. I don't like sellers that don't show understanding especially if it is not that deep

I don't think it's good for a business to argue with the customer. The customer helps you to bring lots of customer and they don't do that if you argue with them.

 

[King Belieal]

There is a way that you can make suggestions to your clients or customers or educate them without it being confrontational. I have been doing that and customers get to appreciate me for that.

It is to set the record straight in a good way. So that it would not look like it is a kind of conflict anywhere

 

[Kross]

There is nothing wrong with pointing out the wrongs of the client to him or her. But it should not be an argument.

 

[Fidelia]

I don't argue with a customer. I just give my own suggestions to the customers which is very normal for my line of business. And it is my opinion at best.

 

[Min George]

One big rule for a business person is that they should never argue with clients. It doesn't send a good message.

 

[King Belieal]

Customers can be very dramatic. And I always avoid completely any situations that might warrant having to argue with someone.

 

[Springtime]

I think it is okay to disagree with the customers. They are not always right. When there is disagreement, just point it out in a peaceful manner. No need to argue with the customer.

 

[Augusta]

Though there's no big deal here but it is not appropriate to start arguing with a client
