Client relationships
Nurturing clients properly requires a combination of personal skills and supporting structures and processes. A client should have different points of contact at different levels and at different times; it is important to spread the risk, and not have everything balancing on one point of contact.
Promoting your work from the outset with a belief that you can add real value to your client’s business is a crucial starting point to building the right relationships with clients and third parties. 99% of work is not won on price alone, and trading on price means someone, somewhere will be able to undercut you. It is the quality and transparency of the work that will ultimately keep the partnership flourishing.
Checklist:
- Do everything before the client asks. You have managed projects before, but your client may not have. Support them through this process.
- Agree the relationship procedures. Together we will agree the main points of contact between yourselves and the client.
- Explain the project practices. Open dialogue about practices and tools of communication, including a clear plan of when and how stages of work will be delivered, is essential to laying the groundwork.
- Using failsafe internal systems. It is important to plan presentations, briefings and meetings in advance to avoid looking unprofessional. It is important not to send people to meetings unless they have a clear, predetermined role.
- Be in control of finances. Always have a clear awareness of the financial situation across the entire project.
- Know and understand your client. Understanding a client’s business beyond the remit of the current project, allows us to offer out of the box thinking and solutions for their entire process.
- Being aware of how you conduct yourself. Listening carefully; being confident and honest.
- Ask for feedback. To continue improving, it is critical to find out what is working well and where, as a group are we performing poorly, in the clients eyes.
- Go the extra mile. Do not settle into a routine – Always push yourself for the best of the client.
