At North Shore Digital, we understand that communication is the backbone of any successful digital marketing agency.
That’s why we dedicate time every month to our internal “Crunch and Learn” sessions, where we focus on crucial industry trends, skills, and internal objectives.
In our latest session, we zeroed in on communication strategies and their pivotal role in client retention and agency growth. Here’s a deep dive into what we covered and a video of the session at the end:
Topics Discussed
Account Management Communication
- Dedicated Contacts: While dedicated account managers serve as the main points of contact, the entire team is involved in client communication.
- Diverse Methods: Communication methods include emails, video calls, monthly meetings, detailed monthly reports, and a ticketing system for urgent issues.
- Client Preferences: Flexibility in communication methods to cater to client preferences is essential. Sharing client emails with multiple team members ensures that responses are timely and comprehensive.
Improving Team Communication
- Balancing Quality and Resources: Ensuring that the quality of our communication does not suffer due to time constraints is crucial. It’s important to structure our fees to cover the time required for thorough communication.
- Prompt Responses: Striving to respond to client inquiries within 24 – 48 hours. If the primary contact is unavailable, another team member should step in to maintain prompt communication.
- Clear Responsibilities: Assigning clear internal communication responsibilities ensures that no client query goes unanswered.
- Standardized Content: Creating more content like blogs and newsletters to regularly communicate our achievements and updates.
Developing External Content
- Consistent Updates: Regular updates through our website, blogs, newsletters, and webinars keep clients and prospects informed about our services and industry insights.
- Monthly Reports: Detailed monthly reports not only showcase our results but also add a layer of consistency to our communication efforts.
- Community Engagement: Hosting webinars featuring clients and partners fosters a sense of community and engagement, further solidifying our relationships.
