Your relationship with your client is really important.
And the best way to build a trusting relationship is to be honest.
I think honesty is key, especially when you are doing
a PR campaign and you want your client to trust you
and trust your ability to deliver
what you promised them before they became your clients,
you need to be on the same page.
It¡¯s a phone call every day, just kind of updating them,
talking to them about what¡¯s going on in their campaign,
maybe not every day, every other day,
but you need to be in constant contact with them.
It¡¯s important to let them know what you are working on.
Status reports and those types of things are important.
They need to know that you are working for them.
So, one of my big things is really communicating with the client the process
of PR and the campaign that we¡¯ve designed for them.
And I think, again, it¡¯s just, you know,
having a great client relationship boils down to trust and honesty,
and thinking creatively and letting them know that you have their back
and that you are their cheerleader,
and that you are fighting for them
and that you guys have the same goals.
So that¡¯s how to have an effective, positive client relationship.
