The customer advises they would like to speak with their significant other. What are two options we might suggest to the customer?
1. Offer to conference in the other person they are wanting to review the figures with. We are the expert and can provide the clearest and most accurate explanation of the process to all parties involved. 2. If the customer is not disputing value, offer to send the paperwork now so they have it to show their significant other.
