As you develop your company you will start to pick up clients
online. This is when you will start seeing the rewards of your
efforts but also when you will start to learn the lessons that
will shape your company and its success down the line. This
article is to show you how a few minutes of your time and a few
clicks of your mouse will save you alot of headaches as well as
stress. It is something that we all take for granted but will
help make your company more successful and keep your clients
happy.
It is as simple as just a few clicks of your mouse. Whether you
check emails morning, noon or night you need to get into a
routine that allows you to respond back in a reasonable amount
of time. So if you are going to respond back to clients in 1, 2,
5, 10, 12, 24 or 28 hours then you need to make sure you are
consistent with this. This will build trust in your clients. It
will also let them know when to look for mails from you. Always
try to respond back in 48 hours or less. The sooner the better.
It will make your clients feel safe with their decision to use
your company but it will also let them know that you are there
for them and that you care about them.
Now you may be thinking that I am making too much out of your
response time. Well you could be right and I could be wrong, but
more then likely I am right. I know, I know, I hate it when I am
right too. I speak on this from personal experience of dealing
with clients as well as being a client. Responding back in a
timely manner will save your clients frustration as well as
worries that they won't hear back from you ever again(you will
be surprised how many will think this way). It will also show
that you are a professional running a smooth operation.
This is show to be especially true when ever they send you a
payment. Never wait more then 12 hours to respond back to your
clients when you have received a payment. As soon as they send
the payment a little bit of doubt will creep into their mind
wondering if you are trustworthy, proove that you are. Unless
you have told them otherwise of why your response may be late,
get back to them the same day if you can. This will build trust
in them as well as their confidence in you and will only make
your working relationship better down the line.
This information and practice will prove most valuable when you
are dealing with more then one client. You will be able to
organize yourself so that you will follow the proper protocols
to handle each situation. Your business will run smoothly, your
clients will be happy and most important you will be successful!
