		<description><![CDATA[I am sorry for your pain and the utter shock you and your agents felt. Your words give me a sense that you are a first rate writer in your own right and with a good, pure heart looking out for your clients best interests. Indeed, your agency is top notch. And from what I have read, been told by other fine long time agents, you run a tight, right ship. I don&#039;t know your father but I suspect he is proud of you. I was told by another agent that he was number one in his own time and indeed your agency is among the BEST there is. Therefore it will stand the test of time, period.&lt;br/&gt;While reading your Post what came to mind was &quot;to pray for that person&quot; and then just let it go like dust in the wind for Dystel &amp; Goderich Literay Management will remain strong and still be standing after the gossip dies down. &lt;br/&gt;Believe it or not, this will make you stronger in the end.&lt;br/&gt;May God bless you and all of your agents today and always.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Yeah, gossip sucks.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;What I&#039;ve learned in business is that no matter how well-intentioned you are, people will have their own perception and often, unvoiced desires. It&#039;s unfortunate that your client chose to relieve his tension in front of a large audience, rather than make an appointment and talk to his agency in person. It&#039;s sort of a literary version of Dr. Phil.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;One way to examine this from a &#039;customer service&#039; p.o.v. is to figure out the source of his unhappiness.  Did her make his expectations clear to you all along? Did he know what he should expect from you? Were his calls returned in a timely manner? Were you aware of his unhappiness? Once you do this, you can figure out if it was a failing of the agency, or if it was the Jerry Springer phenomena that took over him.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Whether or not you want to keep him as a client, I&#039;d call a meeting. Tell him that you hope you have the sort of relationship where he can talk frankly with you.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Yeah, gossip sucks.</p>
<p>What I&#8217;ve learned in business is that no matter how well-intentioned you are, people will have their own perception and often, unvoiced desires. It&#8217;s unfortunate that your client chose to relieve his tension in front of a large audience, rather than make an appointment and talk to his agency in person. It&#8217;s sort of a literary version of Dr. Phil.</p>
<p>One way to examine this from a &#8216;customer service&#8217; p.o.v. is to figure out the source of his unhappiness.  Did her make his expectations clear to you all along? Did he know what he should expect from you? Were his calls returned in a timely manner? Were you aware of his unhappiness? Once you do this, you can figure out if it was a failing of the agency, or if it was the Jerry Springer phenomena that took over him.</p>
<p>Whether or not you want to keep him as a client, I&#8217;d call a meeting. Tell him that you hope you have the sort of relationship where he can talk frankly with you. You have to do this because he&#8217;s liable to repeat his story again.</p>
<p>After the meeting, you can  decide whether or not he and the agency can have a business relationship.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[I believe I was at that conference this past weekend.  That gentleman was the one speaker whose talk I chose not to attend--I had heard more than enough from him at mealtime, when I found myself seated at the same table as His Royal Highness.  His ego was so big, there was hardly room for any of the rest of us to breathe.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;I did listen to your agency&#039;s rep at that conference, and I found her presentation wonderfully informative, helpful, engaging, and encouraging.  I was dubious about the need for or the value of having an agent until I heard her cogent, kind presentation.  I&#039;m sold!]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Jane,&lt;br/&gt;I have never, nor do I ever plan to say anything negative about someone assisting me with my career.
