44. Despite all the information you've given your client, he has his mind set on a mediocre plan/product/strategy. He is happy with having finally made a decision, wants to finalize, and makes a point of telling you not to try talking him out of it. You think he is making a mistake but even your manager says you should let it go. How do you deal with the situation?
I tell him he is making a mistake.
I try convincing him to change his decision.
I tell him that I won't try to talk him out of it, but insist that he at least take a day to think it over.
I ask if he is certain he doesn't want to think it over one last time.
I resist the temptation to try changing his mind.
