Handling customers
How do you go about when you have to handle customers? How should you handle the all-important first meeting, after the sales people have sold some solution and gotten the contract. And what did they ACTUALLY sell to the customer? It is you who must deliver it...
Have you ever been working with the "Customer from Hell"? Or have you had nice relations with understanding customers? Share your experiences here.
