My Own Tips On Building Long-Term Client Relationships

I've been very blessed to have clients who trust me a lot through the years. Upwork has been my full time job since 2010. I'm able to provide for my needs and even become the breadwinner of the family. I always make sure that I do have good relationships with all my clients and I do my best in everything. 

There are four factors that are helping me keep my job or my clients. These are very important to me as I believe they are the reasons why I have what I have now, what I achieved already and will help me achieve more. They are the following:


1. PRAYERS


Prayers do really work. If you give yourself to God and trust everything to Him, everything will fall into places. I also experienced bad times, but whenever I talked to Him and tell Him my problems, I always feel relieved. I know God is always guiding me and will bless me with not just what I need but what I deserve. Prayers also helped me stay focused and prioritize well. He bless me with wisdom, might, understanding and knowledge to perform my job with excellence.

2. HONESTY


Honesty is very important to me. Like what my clients told me, they like and always appreciate my honesty. Every time I have an interview with a client, I always tell them honestly if I can't do a particular task. I don't like to tell them I can do this and that just to get the job. It will just cause conflict and problem and will result to a negative feedback on my Upwork profile. I don't want to disappoint my clients. I also tell my client in advance whenever I have an important appointments, especially when I have a medical check up so that he won't be left clueless when he contacts me for an urgent tasks. I also tell them whenever a problem occurs that may affect the deadline. You can talk about the issue and most of the clients are understanding enough to adjust for the deadline, especially when he trusts you with everything.

3. MEET THE DEADLINE

If a client gives you a particular task with a deadline, it only means he trusts you enough that you will be able to meet the deadline and you won't give any headache to him, especially if the task is very important. Make sure that you set a time frame to complete the task. You also need to have good time management so that you won't face any problem in the future.
