When it comes to clients, communication is key! I set clear expectations from the start. Listen to their needs, and be honest about what you can deliver. Keep the conversation open and transparent - it's the secret sauce to a happy client relationship! 🤝💼

I think the most effective strategies are clear communication and set feedbacks to your clients. From the start, establish clear and honest communication. Project goals, deadlines, deliverables, and any restrictions or limits should all be spelled out in detail. Urge customers to express their worries and expectations up front. Encourage clients to offer input both during and after the job is finished. Utilize feedback to pinpoint areas that need work, then modify your procedures or offerings appropriately. Express gratitude for all input, good or bad, and see it as a chance to improve. 😉😉
