3 Easy Ways to Make New Clients Feel Valued

There are essentially two sides to every service-based business: 1) The actual delivery of the services, and 2) The client experience. Even if you can perform your services exceptionally well and get your clients amazing results, making sure your clients feel valued is equally as crucial. There’s no better time to start than from the very beginning.

By making new clients feel valued, you’re ensuring that they actually enjoyed working with you. They can enjoy the results your work brought them, but you’re less likely to receive a great testimonial, repeat business, or referrals if they didn’t feel like their experience was a positive one.

So to avoid all of that, we’re here to show you three extremely easy and effective ways to make new clients feel valued!

3 Ways to Nurture Clients Even After They’re Finished Working with You

If there’s one thing that can make or break a service-based business, it’s the experience you provide for your clients. Not only is the client experience crucial to making sure your clients are happy, leave great testimonials, refer you to others, and possibly come back for repeat business, but also perfecting your client experience allows you to sell the heck out of it in your marketing message.

Your client experience doesn’t just span from the first interaction to when you start working with them. It also includes your off boarding process and how you treat them once they’ve finished working with you. But how can you still nurture these relationships even after the project is all said and done? There are three simple yet powerful ways you can do so, and that’s what we’re going to cover in this post!

How to Create a Premium Client Experience

The client experience is one of the most– if not the most– important aspects of any business, whether service- or product-based. It’s one thing to perform your services or create your products well. Obviously we want to be exceptional in our craft and provide a great outcome for our audience.

But it’s a whole other piece of the puzzle to take into consideration how your clients feel working with you. What’s their experience like? What do they feel when they first learn about you through your social posts or website? How easy are you making things for them? How trusted do they feel that you’re taking care of them?

All of these points are crucial for repeat business, positive testimonials, referrals to more potential clients/customers, selling the experience, and eventually scaling your business. The cold hard facts are that people remember negative experiences with a business and use those to influence their next decision (a.k.a. running away) more than they do the positive ones.

We’ve learned a thing or two about client experience from our years of being service providers then transitioning to digital products, so we’re here to share our knowledge on how to create a premium client experience!

Dubsado boasts proudly that they’re an all-in-one CRM (as they should), but we understand that it’s common to get a bit scared at that thought. What will you do with all of the features?
