You recently received an email from a client, which states,” Thanks. We have received the goods you just shipped”. You begin to close out the project, send the final invoice to the client, and release all of your staffs. As you are preparing to leave for the day, you receive a voicemail from the client stating that the deliverables do not meet the required specifications. This information comes as a shock because you are sure the client has accepted the deliverables. What should you do now?

• Call the client and tell them that they have accepted the deliverables and should now pay the final invoice

• Call the client to understand why they think the deliverables do not meet the required specifications

• Contact the legal department to check the contract and ask them to suggest a course of action

• Ignore the voicemail from the client since their email indicates that they have already accepted the deliverables
