I have a new client who insists on keeping their ads in the phonebook. Like, the physical phonebook. He wants us to get him a better price on these ads. (Do you have any idea how pricey these ads are?). Hell, I didn't even know they still printed phone books. Should I be trying harder to talk him out of these ads? There's no way they're worth the money.

Just stretch the convo with them for as long as you need to until you know who comes knocking and then the issue will be officially dead.
