Do you ever feel like you're playing a never-ending game of chess with your clients? Are you constantly trying to manage their expectations and navigate conflicts, while still maintaining a positive working relationship? You're not alone! In our latest episode of Contractor Cuts, we dive headfirst into these challenges, offering you strategies and insights that we've developed through years of experience in the construction industry.
We kick things off by discussing the root of most conflicts: unrealistic expectations. We crack open our Client Engagement Agreement (CEA) and guide you through setting expectations that benefit both you and your clients. As we navigate this tricky terrain, we highlight the importance of proactive communication, including the dreaded difficult phone calls and regular check-ins, to ensure client satisfaction and conflict resolution.
Then, we shift gears to discuss the financial aspect of client relationships. We share our insights on managing invoices, emphasizing the necessity of itemizing invoices and setting clear payment expectations. We also tackle the tough topics of how to handle confrontational conversations, when to consider exiting a project, and strategies for dealing with the all-too-common issue of clients withholding payment. By the end of the episode, you'll be armed with the tools and knowledge you need to manage client conflicts and expectations like a pro, ensuring your business thrives no matter what challenges come your way. Tune in now to take your contracting skills to the next level!
