A common problem in the software undustry is clear customer specification of his/her requirements. I face this problem all the time.

I till the customer at the very start that he/she knows his ways of doing business much better than me and my product will meet his requirements only if he/she provide me with his detailed business processes which are to be automated by our software solutions. I insist on outlining the gap between the two and agree with the customer on how are we going to bridge this gap together.

At any situation, we should b polite voice should always cool and calm dont forget the greetings and ur name first wen u encounter a difficult customer always appreciate their opinion but u'll explain wats n ur side then dont forget to appology even u know costumer s wrong. u just got to explain ur side but still make an appology for some reason to make ur costumer feels good.
