Bissett Bullet: Give Your Clients a Commercial Hug

Today’s Bissett Bullet: “How are your clients, really?”

By Martin Bissett

When the COVID-19 pandemic hit, accounting firms all over the world went into reactive mode. They adapted, they got their own houses in order – which is an entirely appropriate response to an unprecedented crisis – and then those who really cared reached out to their clients. They called them on a regular basis just to see how they were faring.

This should be something you do routinely in the interests of relationship building. Call your clients, no charge, no sell, no angle, just a commercial hug. Ask how they are, if they need anything and offer your help. That may be in the form of expertise, of monetized help or of goodwill, that is at your discretion; but cement that relationship by showing you care after their signature has dried on the original contract.

Today’s To-Do:

Start with your biggest or most vulnerable clients. Diarize one call a day starting today; pick up the phone and add value.
