Getting back to clients can sometimes be overwhelming when you don’t have a full answer to their question. Learn what to do in this situation.
Sunshine: How long does it take you to respond to clients, one, two, three days?
Crystal: Welcome to The Love of Business. I’m Crystal.
Sunshine: And I’m Sunshine. Let’s get to it.
So, getting back to clients. You know, I really want them to get back to me as quickly as possible, especially if I’m doing business with them.
Crystal: Why is that?
Sunshine: Instant gratification?
Crystal: Yup.
Sunshine: But I mean, I can wait a little while. But I also, I really like it when people get back to me quickly because I feel taken care of.
Crystal: Yeah, you feel important.
Sunshine: So, what are some other reasons or how long should we wait to get back to clients?
Crystal: Let’s take a look. To start, something that we should all know, is that lack of response time or delayed response time is one of the biggest frustrations every customer faces across every industry. So, let’s talk about what’s reasonable in terms of response time. So, I would recommend that you respond to all business inquiries within one or two businesses. Even if it’s just to say, “Hey, I’m looking into this. I’m researching this. And I’ll get back to you in a couple more days.” This puts the customer at ease. He or she knows that you care and when to expect an answer.
