11 Intelligent Strategies to Win With Your Clients in 2011!
 
As this funky worldwide economy claws its way up from the depths of
financial hell, your clients need your expertise more now than ever before.
Alas, "business as usual" is no more. Your clients will need your
knowledge, creativity, and your resources on new and multiple levels, so
that they can achieve their objectives. Afterall, your clients' success is
your success! 
Here are 11 strategies for 2011:

1. Be Patient. Even your most sophisticated clients are working to figure
things out, too
2. Advise First, Worry About Transactions Later. As the economy recovers,
albeit slowly, your clients need guidance about viable real estate
alternatives that will support multiple paths to business growth, change,
exit, and otherwise
3. Provide Business Advice, Not Just Real Estate Services and Information.
If your clients are not in the real estate business, they will benefit by
your ability to distill real estate into their language
4. Be Transparent. Nothing ruins a trusting relationship quicker than an
unspoken concern over whether a service provider or advisor has competing or
conflicted interests
5. Push Communications. Keep your clients advised and sufficiently informed,
never permitting them to wonder about the status of their project
6. Give It To Them Straight...They Can Take It! Your clients need
uncensored, unembellished, honest, timely, and pertinent business
intelligence, whether they like the outcome or not. Only then, will they be
armed to make informed decisions 
7. Manage Market Stress. Never let a client enter into a transaction without
guiding them to conduct proper due diligence on their transactional
opponents. In this challenging economic environment, many companies are not
what they seem
8. Go! Fight! Win! Drive hard and negotiate aggressively to achieve your
clients' objectives. Now is the time to achieve greatness on their behalf.
But, know when you're on the goal line 
9. Bend, But Don't Break. This year especially, your clients will require
assistance in areas that may be new to you. Be flexible and expand your
offerings. But, know your boundaries and limitations
10. Information is Powerful. But, the knowledge and skill to intelligently
interpret, plan, and execute is the path to success 
11. Stay Close. Your clients' needs will change and then, change again. If
they recognize your value, accept the responsibility to maintain those
relationships
 
If nothing else, 2011 promises to be an interesting, and likely an exciting
year. You can either watch from the sidelines or lead your clients to
victory! Good Luck!
