Client  Relationship Management
Have you ever worked on a project that was behind schedule, released a program that had problems, or did not deliver in a way that resulted in a tense relationship between you and a client? This article summarizes five lessons I have learned over the years about client relationship management that have both helped reduce the tension and build confidence in my clients.
Tension arises with clients when expectations are not met in the eyes of the client. The fundamental lesson that I learned about client relationships is to set realistic expectations. If this is not possible, it is not worth doing business with the client, whether you are doing sales, marketing or development work. Below are a number of client relationship management lessons that I learned the hard way and that I implement every single day.
