Managing Client Relationships
COURSE OVERVIEW
Doing business in the design industry means that firms deliver a service to clients in exchange for compensation. Delivering service is different than selling a product. The relationship that exists between the design firm and the client becomes more critical due to the greater degree of involvement of both parties during the process of exchange.
According to PSMJ research, it costs 10 – 15 times more to get a dollar of revenue from a new client than from an existing one. This module describes some proven techniques that firm leaders and PMs use to effectively manage and build long-lasting relationships with their clients. Topics covered include:
- Why clients defect to your competitors
- Establish a proactive communication plan
- Actively manage the client relationship
- Five keys to a successful client relationship
- Maintaining client relationships
- The impression you want to create with clients
- Keeping your client relationships fresh
- Five tips that make you accessible to your clients
- Delivering bad news to a client
- Create a great client experience by delivering more than promised
- Points to remember when dealing with public agencies, public forums, and politicians
- Consultants to public clients fall in to one of three categories
