How to Stay in Touch with Your Clients


If you have a business that relies on engagement from customers or clients, one of the most critical aspects of building a profitable company will depend on your ability to keep in touch with your customers. If you struggle to feel comfortable forging long-lasting connections with your clients, the following tips will help you create positive relationships with your patrons that will inevitably have a beneficial effect on your business. 

Do Something Nice for Your Customers
One of the most effective ways to stay in touch with your customers and clients is to do something nice for them. As the holidays approach, for example, send them a thank you card expressing how thankful you are for their business or relationship. 
Business experts suggest that if you’re looking to do something kind for your clients, focus on how you can provide value to them. 

Ask Your Client to Comment on Social Media
If you’re a business owner wanting to maintain a strong relationship with your client, why not ask your customer if they would be interested in sharing something on your company’s website, Instagram account, YouTube channel, or Facebook page? Depending on what kind of business you’re running, asking a client to get involved in your social media marketing is a creative way to make your customers or clients feel important. The more important your clients feel, the easier it will be to stay in touch with your customers.
Make sure you also keep your social media channels up-to-date and engage with your clients online. This may look like sharing helpful articles or responding when others comment on your posts. 

Keep Notes on Clients
If you really want to build a rock-solid relationship with a client, business coaches recommend taking notes on your customers. If one of your customers tells you that their son Luke is going off to college next fall, ask that customer the next time you see them how their son Luke is doing in his first year in college. This small gesture will show your customer that you listen to them when they talk and that you appreciate the non-work details of their life.

Common Leadership Myths

The old models of leadership are becoming obsolete. People seek opportunities to make differences, feeling as though they matter, rather than merely going to work every day. At the same time, workforces are spreading out more, creating a need for delegation of decision-making and collaboration that those traditional leadership models cannot handle. This is creating leaders in organizations at every level. It is also showing that old leadership concepts are failing, as demonstrated by these  myths that need to be debunked .  Leadership Exists Only at the Top Not long ago, there was a widely held belief that leadership belonged only to a couple of people, or even just one, at the peak of a power pyramid. The truth is that, in reality, the role of leadership is multidimensional. Everyone, on any particular day, moves through a spectrum of various expressions of leadership.
