Dealing with a non-tech client's technical frustrations. Can you find a solution that satisfies them?

To help a non-tech client with their technical frustrations, start by listening carefully to their concerns. Make sure you understand the specific issues they are facing. Then, explain solutions in simple language, avoiding technical jargon. Offer to walk them through the steps to fix the problem together, or provide clear written instructions they can follow later. Be patient and supportive, and reassure them that it’s okay to ask questions. Lastly, follow up after some time to see if they need more help or if the solution worked for them.
