But this effort might be easier than you think. <\/span><\/i><a href=\"http:\/\/followupsuccess.com\/\"><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Research<\/span><\/i><\/a><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> indicates that a simple relationship management strategy \u2013 for both clients and prospects \u2013 can reap huge rewards for busy consultants. <\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">1. The Real Reason You Lose Clients &#8211; Stay in Touch<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">There are a number of reasons why a client may choose to churn away from your firm. The most obvious of these is simple dissatisfaction with the job that you are doing for them. But this <\/span>dissatisfaction accounts for only 14% of those who choose to leave<b>.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> In over two-thirds (68%) of cases,<\/span> the reason that clients stop buying your product or service is because of an <em>\u201cattitude or feeling of indifference towards them by one or more persons representing the company.\u201d<\/em><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> In other words, many churned customers perceive your customer service to be lacking and therefore think that you have stopped caring about their business. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The solution to this problem is very simple:<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> stay in touch.<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> You would be remiss if you didn\u2019t know the key stakeholders within your client base, but <\/span>do you know how often they are being contacted by your team? Your relationship management strategy needs to give you <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bullhorn.com\/eu\/products\/pulse\/?LS=Website&amp;LSD=Blog_UK_16_05_03\" target=\"_blank\">visibility of the level of contact for each client<\/a> so that you can react accordingly.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">2. Improve Customer Service &#8211; Increase Referrals <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> Another key statistic is that less than 4% of your customers will tell you if they are unhappy with the work that your firm is doing.<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Getting in touch with the right people and simply asking them how things are going may well surface any problems before they become toxic to the relationship. <\/span>And if you are regularly in touch with a happy client<i>,<\/i> it becomes a simple task to ask them for a referral;<\/p>\n<p><em><b><a href=\"http:\/\/followupsuccess.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">&#8220;Customers who receive great service can quickly become your best referral source and advocate\u201d.<\/a><\/b><\/em><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">3. Determination Is the Key to Closing Deals<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">As we know, consulting is primarily a referral business, but turning expressions of interest into booked clients isn\u2019t going to happen overnight. The vast majority (88%) will give up on a prospect if the deal hasn\u2019t been closed within the first three contacts. Yet only 10% of sales are made on the third call, and a staggering 80% of sales are made somewhere between the fifth and twelfth contact.<\/span> So by simply remaining in touch with a prospect, it will give you an edge over your competition.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">4.&nbsp;Make Contact Details Transparent&nbsp;<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The problem is, of course, that the <\/span>best salespeople \u2013 your top consultants \u2013 are also the busiest<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">. You have to make it easy for them to manage their relationships with prospects. The capture of contact details should be automated and<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bullhorn.com\/eu\/ppc\/consulting-radical-transparency\/?LS=Website&amp;LSD=Blog_UK_16_05_03\" target=\"_blank\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> visible across the whole business<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> in order to minimise data inputting. It should be easy for consultants to schedule calls and share progress with colleagues who may be able to help close a deal. And they should be able to do all of this on their mobile devices so that they can use otherwise unproductive downtime (e.g., time spent in a taxi) to better effect. Help them to help you. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">Success Is Never Easy, So Don\u2019t Make It Harder Than It Should Be<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Building a successful consulting business requires hard work and a willingness to take risks. The last thing you need is for a sloppy attitude toward managing your relationships with key clients and prospects to derail future success. Fortunately, all it takes to avoid this is determination and a good process, and you wouldn\u2019t be where you are without plenty of both. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">I would be happy to hear more ways in which your consultancy firm improves client retention and attractiveness.
