You're dealing with a client who has a house or office full of clutter and doesn't want to toss anything out. How do you handle this challenge?
I am usually able to reason with this type of personality, and I eventually win out. Most of the stuff goes.

I don't want to argue. I help the client find or make storage available for all the stuff without the need to toss anything.

I compromise. Half stays. Half goes.

I don't continue with this client. If they're not willing to toss, I'm not willing to help.
