Help me handle a difficult client. The situation: [SITUATION]. Contract and quote terms: [TERMS]. What I want to achieve: [GOAL]. Analyse the underlying concerns, separating tone from substance. Provide scripts for a calm call and a written message that restate the agreement, acknowledge the client's worry, propose a way forward, and set boundaries. Include a decision aid for when to continue, renegotiate or end the job, and a checklist for documenting events. Avoid threats and public arguments, and mark legal options and payment rights as items to verify with a lawyer or trade association [VERIFY] for [JURISDICTION]. Also add a self-care note for tradespeople who face hostile behaviour, a rule that I may stop work if I feel unsafe, and a record of events with dates. Do not assume my business structure or tax status. Ask for them if they matter, mark dependent points [VERIFY], and suggest I confirm them with an accountant in [JURISDICTION].
