律师谈客户技巧各有不同,尽管都是在网球场,Harvey做足功课轻松拿下客户,而Louis的搭讪方法却让客户感到反感。
问:Louis为什么看中了Tom这个客户?这个细节你抓住了吗?
因为:1. Tom每年能赚2个亿,是个大客户;2. 他现在的法律总顾问不专业。
LOUIS: I mean, the guy generates 200 million per annum, right? And he still uses his fraternity brother as a general counsel. I mean, someone with that many assets just makes me sick.
