No matter what type of business you own, it’s vital to provide value to your clients. This will attract new client leads and most importantly, retain happy clients. When clients have positive experiences, they are likely to share it via social media and word-of-mouth. These clients will appreciate you meeting their expectations and then some, as well as communicating with them regularly and always being transparent. Let’s take a look at 6 ways you can provide exceptional value to your clients. 

1. Never Overpromise

This is a standard across the board for business owners. To provide great value to clients, you need to meet all of their expectations and beyond. By meeting their expectations, it shows that you are a trustworthy, reliable, and professional business. If you go beyond those expectations and help them in both big and small ways, the client is going to know how much you care about them and their business. This will strengthen your client-business relationship with them. 

As the expert, let your clients know if you need additional time in advance to complete a project. This is better than starting the project and realizing that you are going to need an extension on the deadline. Indeed, it’s more professional to have extra time to finish a project early than to send it over late.

2. Be Transparent

Believe it or not, some businesses will hide things from their clients. This will harm your business and likely lead to losing clients. It’s always best to be upfront with your clients, so they know what to expect, who to contact, how much products or services will cost, and the timeline. This open conversation will show them that you are trustworthy and have their best interests in mind. No one wants to spend their money on a shady business. 

3. Communicate On a Regular Basis

From the start, it’s crucial to communicate with your clients on a regular basis. This can be done via phone, video meeting, or in-person, depending on where your clients are located. By communicating regularly, you will find out if they are happy with their products or services. Additionally, you may receive some helpful feedback on what you can do to improve your business, services, customer service, and more. While working on your client’s project, remember to give regular status reports and updates. If you keep your clients in the loop, this will mitigate any worry that you aren’t working on their projects, or are behind schedule. Instead of emailing you for updates, your clients will be impressed and relieved to receive them from you on a daily or weekly basis.

4. Create Personalized Content for Them

When your clients provide feedback, listen carefully to their needs and problems they have. You can send these problems over to your content team, where they can create personalized content that clients will benefit from. For example, if your client needs some assistance with understanding their Google Analytics (GA) report, your content team can create a quick video or blog explaining GA for beginners. After the content is published, send it over to your client. Let them know that they helped inspire the idea for creating the content. This will show that you actively listen to clients and value their opinions and needs. 

5. Provide Custom Plans and Prices

Like anything, each client has unique needs, goals, and budgets. If you are a website agency, your clients will appreciate having a custom plan made just for them. Perhaps they want a custom website, monthly SEO, and hosting. They have a small budget, so they would benefit from a flexible payment plan. Your team can create a custom plan that will help the client achieve their business site goals and fit their budget perfectly. Compared to businesses that only offer specific, one-size fits all plans, your business will stand out because you are able to provide additional value to your clients.

6. Refer Business

Since no business can provide everything to everyone, it makes sense that your clients may need to work with different types of companies. When you come across a client that could benefit from another business, it’s a great idea to refer them to that business. This will once again show how much you care for your clients and their goals. This referral will oftentimes lead to receiving new leads from the other business. For small businesses, this tip is an effective method to establish relationships with other businesses, grow your brand, and gain new client leads.

We hope these 6 tips help you provide amazing value to your clients. It’s the little things that you do for clients that add up and create a lasting, positive impression for your clients. People want to support and work with companies that truly care about them, rather than just their money and then disappearing after the work is done.
