Overdelivering and delivering before time gets the notice of the client almost every time and gives him/her enough reason to look for a longterm relationship.Of course quality and value for money have no substitutes and needs to be maintained to keep the client base smiling and of equal essence is trustworthiness.If you have proven that you can deliver the goods before time and some, then in critical and unscheduled projects the client will think of you first.

As the seller, it is your job to convince them your product or service is worth the price you charge. If your price is not negotiable then make that clear up front. You can then try to close the deal by convincing them your price is justified. You can always use the old adage "you get what you pay for", or that you simply cannot afford to sell for less, or your price is fair market value and well worth the price. In the end, the client will have to make the final choice. Sometimes its better to loose a client then lower your price. Only you can make that decision.

I agree with you that we have to keep up our good service and built our client trust. My problem is not all my client know how to appreciate our work always demand more with a little pay. How can i stand firm and stick to my price? Is there any suggestion to neg with client like this? I just started my designing business on february 2008, this is a good article to read.

However I was just on some customer service site last week where there was a big discussion going on about clients that weren't worth keeping. I think they were talking about an online store -- and they kept getting lots of complaints from one particular person who spent very little money. The consensus there was that it wasn't worth the time of their help people to keep dealing with this person so when she threatened to take her business elsewhere they said, go ahead. (I'm sure they had already done the first obvious thing of trying to fix her problem but she refused to be satisfied...) I agree that it seems like you want to keep the customers you have.

Just because someone can say "They said the 16th but they always get it done 3 days early so lets hold the presentation on the 14th." and then it comes in on the 16th.

It is very expensive to buy a new customer. So it is important that we make sure that our old customers stick with us. Customers are the pillars to any successful business. liowkc has given a valuable point here. It is very expensive to buy a new customer.

The fact that you emphasise confidently, with no doubt, or question of other possibility on the key points to selling yourself and your service is brilliant and a well needed must read for anybody looking to be successful. It is far too often you hear advice like "Think about the quality, remember, you are the designer, you know what's right" It makes people forget that you are in it for the customer, the work isn't your primary objective, the customer is. The work just comes as a bonus when you've earned the trust of your customer. Thanks for the article, I will be sure to forward it to all the aspiring project workers I encounter. - Malakai I think that your Article is an indespensible, relevant, and well thought out piece of literature.

I found it hard to beat deadlines, and sometimes its even harder to catch up and still manage to have a good quality in each of your work. But to sell a good product or service, we must be consistent. And then he client will trust us. Its a great tips, I agree that we must always hang on to our standard.

Businesses should be made aware of the fact that repeat customers are practically free while it is very expensive to acquire a new customer.

If you prove your self then they might refer you to others and that's how you get more business by building up your clientel by word of mouth.
