A person’s name is the most important thing to him. We should ask again if we don’t get it the first time he introduces himself. We shouldn’t mispronounce it or get it wrong.
Don’t scare the customer with very complex solutions. Be careful of spellings when sending out mails to clients – Like ‘I tried reaching you’ to ‘I tired reaching you’…it might mean I’m tired of trying to reach you. Spell check before sending client mails.
Read the mails you received multiple times to find what the person was thinking/is conveying. Always have humility in your mails.
Also the 5-rule: what will be the impact of any email/action – 5 minutes from now, 5 hours from now, 5 days from now and 5 months from now.

My Professor: 'BE Rude. It's okay to be rude'.
While consulting, I still remember my client manager saying ‘It’s my money, man’. (Not that there's anything wrong with it.)

Do let me know your comments or things you have heard from your PM/Leads.
