Learning the key client-management tips can go very far…
Beloved By Clients’ mission is to be the how-to guide that teaches you how to manage your managers.
We pledge to help you improve both your relationship with your clients, and all of the relationships in your life. We will teach you how to best manage social and virtual interactions, as well as how to apply this new knowledge in practical situations.
And how do we teach the rules? In our no-BS style that dispenses with euphemisms and forgets the lie that “clients judge you first by results” and focuses on the practical, how-to steps of how you can learn.
These tips were compiled over 11 years of managing among the most difficult clients in the world.
Here are some tips for managing your manager we’ll train you in
Discuss yellow flags very early
Systematize everything
Drop happy surprises regularly… and do the work behind the happy surprises
Always take the blame… so you can focus on forward-looking problem-solving
Ask “are you sure?” and then walk through consequences together
The “good results and good communication” gold standard
Train yourself how to say “no,” and know when to say it (but not to your boss)
Minimize ambiguous language (plus many examples over many chapters)
Assume all questions are tests
Frame documents as “notes” or “drafts”
You don’t need to have the Last Word
Experiment with extreme transparency
