Professionalism in business establishes respect for both you and your clients. Looking and acting professional gives the clients the confidence that they can actually trust you to do what you are supposed to do.

What Do You Have To Do?

1. Keep Your Social Media Clean

The kinds of content you’re posting, liking and sharing are saying a lot about you, and are also showing up in your clients/prospects’feeds.

The best thing to do in this situation is to keep a social media pages that’s not under your name to your hobbies and then have a professional social media platform that can be public for prospects to see.

2. Deliver On Your Promises

Don’t get too excited when listing your offerings to a client. If you cannot deliver, they’ll hold you for it.

Make sure that you list only what their business requires and what is within your capacity. Under-promise but over-deliver this is the key to getting loyalty.

3. Streamline Your Onboarding Process

The best way to keep your clients coming back is to make it easy to work with you from the first day of your relationship with a solid client onboarding process.

Create a form for your clients to fill, and in this form, let them fill you in on what services they want from you. Then create a contract that will list out all the services you will be rendering persuant to their needs.

4. Be Organized

You cannot look professional if you are not organized. It will be a grievious error to mix clients work together or make an operation mistake just because you can’t simply get things together.

Being organized means you know what you are supposed to be doing at any particular moment. It means you know the tasks that need to be prioritized or delegated.

5. Dress Properly

When you show up in a meeting with a client or a prospect, make sure that you are appropriately and properly dressed. Consider the circumstances around the meeting and let it determine what you will wear.

Consider these points and infuse them into your business process.
