Hey! Hope you’re well.
I’m having a lot of conversations with leaders and business owners in the engineering and construction industry at the moment around how to create amazing client relationships.
There are a lot of amazing tools, strategies and techniques that you can employ into your team or your business to create amazing client relationships, but there’s one thing that trumps everything else and that’s what I want to explore with you today.
I want you to think about business for yourself right now. Who do you enjoy doing business with? Who do you like hanging out with from a business point of view? Who would you quickly, readily and easily refer work to?
Are your answers people that you like? Are your answers people that you share values with? Are your answers people that you enjoy being around?
I guarantee that you answered yes to all of the above.
One of the easiest ways to develop exceptional client relationships, and to ensure that your current client base continues to give you work and refer work to you, is to go out of your way to understand their values, what they like, what they enjoy and what lights them up.
You see if you can share common values with your client, if you can connect with him on a human level, if you can talk to them and laugh with them about things outside of work, then you have a client for life.
If you share similar values with your client, or you go out of your way to find out what values your client has and then mirror and match their values then your client will feel connected to you on a much deeper level.
From here the business relationship deepens and you’ll find the work will just easily flow to you.
So stop, slow down, work out what values and interests your client has, match them and mirror them and watch the relationship deepen and the repeat business from your current clients go through the roof.
