5 tips on building better client relationships

Sometimes it can be hard to get back into the swing of things after the holidays and you may need some reminders about what to do for clients. Or maybe, you want to make some changes about how you build relationships with clients this year. Either way, having some tips on how to better your relationships with clients is always helpful, so here are just a few!

Focus on Communication

Communication is crucial in any form of relationship, but it is especially important when working with corporate clients. Sometimes the best way to communicate with a client means completely adjusting your own communication style. Talk to them about their preferred method and adjust accordingly to ensure you keep them feeling comfortable and wanting to work with you. 

Ask for Feedback Regularly

When working with clients, it’s important to regularly ask about what is working for them and what needs to be improved. People are often unwilling to suggest ideas for change unless it is brought up by others so try to do just that! Asking for feedback regularly can really help maintain your relationship with various clients. 

Don’t Be Business Oriented

Knowing when it is appropriate to be business-oriented versus interested in your clients is a necessary scale in any relationship. For example, sometimes people aren’t feeling well or are having a rough day, backing off of business-oriented materials and allowing them the chance to decompress can be greatly appreciated by clients. Be sure to ask them about themselves and being mindful of those types of situations can greatly improve your relationship. 

Go Above and Beyond

Make sure your client knows that you’re willing to go the extra mile specifically for them. Your goal should be to make their life easier and do the necessary work they require quickly and better than they could imagine. Doing this regularly ensures their trust, confidence, and respect in you as a provider.
