The important expectations
From client side : the value your company adds to the client
From your side : business continuity
The usual client engagement process
is highlighted below
Request for proposal
Presentation meetings, post presentation followup or communication
till you sign the deal
Client visits by team(s) from your company at client (multiple
layers of contact within the office of the client)
Frequenct communication through Brochures, Physical /eMailers,
Newsletters, Social Media (frequency depending on the person or
role or department)
Customer Satisfaction Surveys
Annual Customer meets
Besides meeting the clients in their / your office, you tend to
them in seminars / conferences / award ceremonies / exhibitions
or social gettogethers ...
What companies should care
Client satisfaction surveys, and year on year performance.
The client satisfaction surveys should be done for multiple layers
within the client office, specially if you are a service provider
(e.g. IT), whose application is used by people in different organisation
level and localities at client end.
Remember, sensitivites in people relationships are as important
as product / service delivery..
Dont hide that small concern at client end, it may become the
issue of discussion in business continuity.
