Client Relationship Development: Going Beyond Business as Usual
In today’s competitive business landscape, building trusted relationships with clients, especially with those in the C-suite is more difficult than ever before. With numerous priorities competing for their clients’ attention and their resources, firms must go beyond simple transactions. They must shift from a transactional approach to relationship-based client management to cultivate trust, loyalty, and long-term partnerships. The Difference Between a Transactional Approach & Relationship-Based Client Management The key difference between a transactional approach and relationship-based client management lies in the depth and length of the interaction between a firm and its clients.
