  6. Main Talking Point 1 Report the Incident • Tell her supervisors about the situation • Seek help from them • Or go even further to report incident to cops and take legal action

  7. Recommendations • Seems to be the most logical solution • Must be discrete and careful • Don’t go to immediate supervisor, Justin

  8. Main Talking Point 2 Ignore the Situation • Susan can pretend the incident never occurred • Go back to working with Brian • Go with the flow • The firm needs Brian and Pellmore as a client • Hope Brian doesn’t make another move

  9. Recommendations • Least effective of all options • Non-action in this situation will backfire • Susan’s pride and ego will be hurt

  10. Main Talking Point 3 Confront the Client • Susan can confront Brian • Tell him that she only sees him as a business partner • That if he doesn’t comply she will escalate the case

  11. Recommendations • Must gingerly approach the topic • Can’t be too aggressive or fall into comfort syndrome • Must get her point across • Try to stop the problem at the source • Beware of Brian escalating the case first in a preemptive strike
