Tell me about a time when you had to handle a difficult client situation in waste management consulting.

During my time as a waste management consultant, I encountered a difficult client situation when working with a large manufacturing company. They were resistant to implementing a waste reduction program and were hesitant to invest in new technologies. To handle this situation, I first listened to their concerns and understood their reasons for resistance. I then conducted a thorough analysis of their waste streams and identified significant cost-saving opportunities. I prepared a detailed report outlining the potential benefits and presented it to the client along with case studies and success stories from similar industries. By addressing their concerns and demonstrating the financial advantages, I was able to convince the client to move forward with the waste reduction program. We implemented new recycling systems and trained the staff to optimize waste management. As a result, the company saw significant cost savings and a reduction in their environmental footprint.
