The Practical Value of Client Empathy
What are the benefits of taking an empathy-centered approach with your clients?
Here are a few:
Differentiation
By caring for your clients, you are doing emotional labor that categorically sets you apart from many or most of your competitors.
Improved Communication
Clients who feel you care will communicate with you more often, especially when things aren’t going well.
Stronger Relationships
Clients who trust you have their best interests in mind will micro-manage and second-guess you less often.
Grace Under Fire
With any long-term client relationship, there will be periods when things don’t go 100% to plan. They’re more likely to treat you with grace and forgiveness when things go wrong.
Word of Mouth
When you exceed your clients’ rational and emotional expectations, they’re more likely to refer you to others in the Focus Vertical
What else?
Have a great day!
