Book Description
A practical guide for providing exceptional client service Most advertising and marketing people would claim great client service is an elusive, ephemeral pursuit, not easily characterized by a precise skill set or inventory of responsibilities; this book and its author argue otherwise, claiming there are definable, actionable methods to the role, and provide guidance designed to achieve more effective work. Written by one of the industry's most knowledgeable client services executives, the book begins with a definition, then follows a path from an initial new business win to beginning, building, losing, then regaining trust with clients. It is a powerful source of counsel for those new to the business, for industry veterans who want to refresh or validate what they know, and for anyone in the middle of the journey to get better at what they do.

Book Description
The previous was about one particularly Co-Op. I only wrote what is related to the Co-Op. The current is about landlord. I mentioned on the previous about what some tenants told me about the wrongdoings that landlords committed in court and there is no real action taking by the court to do something about these wrongdoings. I did face those wrongdoings from the landlord, particularly more from the lawyers. I begin to see why majority of the housing court cases never solve effectively because the court should get blame for it to some degree due to waste of my time. There are a lot I report in this book which may be shocking to my readers and audiences. I want to say viewer discretion is advised to them. The problems and issues that I write and report in this book run at their deepest level. The housing situation in New York City is a real problem and issue when it comes to class and race matter and manner. The current book also started backward just like the previous book. The readers and audiences can now move forward with the book. The book contains my personal records from the court case (June 2018 to November 2018). I continue to use my pen name for the second book (Van Hugo). The names of the opponents and other information are not included for the purpose of unwanted and unnecessary lawsuits against me. This book is for those of you who live under landlords, particularly roommates, which are in the worst position to be in housing court. I do the best I can to make this book representable to my readers and audiences.

Book Description
From the creator of the popular website Ask a Manager and New York’s work-advice columnist comes a witty, practical guide to 200 difficult professional conversations—featuring all-new advice! There’s a reason Alison Green has been called “the Dear Abby of the work world.” Ten years as a workplace-advice columnist have taught her that people avoid awkward conversations in the office because they simply don’t know what to say. Thankfully, Green does—and in this incredibly helpful book, she tackles the tough discussions you may need to have during your career. You’ll learn what to say when • coworkers push their work on you—then take credit for it • you accidentally trash-talk someone in an email then hit “reply all” • you’re being micromanaged—or not being managed at all • you catch a colleague in a lie • your boss seems unhappy with your work • your cubemate’s loud speakerphone is making you homicidal • you got drunk at the holiday party Praise for Ask a Manager “A must-read for anyone who works . . . [Alison Green’s] advice boils down to the idea that you should be professional (even when others are not) and that communicating in a straightforward manner with candor and kindness will get you far, no matter where you work.”—Booklist (starred review) “The author’s friendly, warm, no-nonsense writing is a pleasure to read, and her advice can be widely applied to relationships in all areas of readers’ lives. Ideal for anyone new to the job market or new to management, or anyone hoping to improve their work experience.”—Library Journal (starred review) “I am a huge fan of Alison Green’s Ask a Manager column. This book is even better. It teaches us how to deal with many of the most vexing big and little problems in our workplaces—and to do so with grace, confidence, and a sense of humor.”—Robert Sutton, Stanford professor and author of The No Asshole Rule and The Asshole Survival Guide “Ask a Manager is the ultimate playbook for navigating the traditional workforce in a diplomatic but firm way.”—Erin Lowry, author of Broke Millennial: Stop Scraping By and Get Your Financial Life Together
