Sometimes clients give feedback based on old ways of doing things that no longer work today.

You have to find a way to explain the modern way of working without making the client feel like they are wrong or old. It is a very delicate situation because you still want to respect their opinion. How do you teach your clients about current industry standards when they give you bad advice?
