Effective communication is essential for building relationships, establishing trust, and effectively collaborating with your clients and team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Building strong relationships is crucial for an entrepreneurial leader. You need to establish trust and credibility with your team members and clients. This can be achieved through clear and effective communication. Refrain from complicating ideas or concepts with jargon. By <a href=\"https:\/\/www.forbes.com\/sites\/glennllopis\/2013\/05\/20\/6-effective-ways-listening-can-make-you-a-better-leader\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">actively listening<\/a> to those who take the time to share their thoughts, ideas or even troubles, you can better understand their needs, concerns, and goals. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This will enable you to collaboratively develop a customized plan that meets their wants and needs. Fortunately, these strategies work with your clients &amp; direct reports and co-workers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To be unclear is to be unkind, be kind to those who take the time to communicate with you. Clear communication is essential for managing and setting expectations. Your clients need to understand your services and what they can expect from you. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Your team needs to understand what is being asked of them and what it should look like when it's complete. You need to set realistic goals and establish timelines for achieving them. You can avoid misunderstandings and potential conflicts by being transparent and upfront about what you can and cannot do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1333\" src=\"https:\/\/corethos.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/teamMeeting.jpg\" alt=\"open and bright board room meeting discussion\" class=\"wp-image-434\" srcset=\"https:\/\/corethos.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/teamMeeting.jpg 2000w, https:\/\/corethos.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/teamMeeting-600x400.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2000px) 100vw, 2000px\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>As a small business leader, your clients pay you for your expertise and knowledge, and your team follows you because of your vision and what you've built. Effective communication allows you to share your insights and advice with your clients. You can help your clients make better decisions and improve their business by providing valuable information and wisdom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Effective communication is also vital for addressing any concerns or issues. Your clients may have questions or concerns about the services you provide or the progress of their projects. Similarly, your team or direct reports may have similar questions that will need your attention and focus. By being accessible and responsive, you can address these concerns promptly and professionally. This will help build trust and confidence with those you connect with.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/corethos.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/photo-of-men-having-conversation-stockpack-pexels-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"Photo of men having conversation\" class=\"wp-image-204\" srcset=\"https:\/\/corethos.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/photo-of-men-having-conversation-stockpack-pexels-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/corethos.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/photo-of-men-having-conversation-stockpack-pexels-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/corethos.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/photo-of-men-having-conversation-stockpack-pexels-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/corethos.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/photo-of-men-having-conversation-stockpack-pexels-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/corethos.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/photo-of-men-having-conversation-stockpack-pexels-1536x1025.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/corethos.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/photo-of-men-having-conversation-stockpack-pexels-1080x720.jpg 1080w, https:\/\/corethos.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/photo-of-men-having-conversation-stockpack-pexels-1280x854.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/corethos.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/photo-of-men-having-conversation-stockpack-pexels-980x654.jpg 980w, https:\/\/corethos.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/photo-of-men-having-conversation-stockpack-pexels-480x320.jpg 480w, https:\/\/corethos.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/photo-of-men-having-conversation-stockpack-pexels.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Photo by <span class=\"stockpack-author\">nappy<\/span> on <a href=\"https:\/\/pexels.com\/photo\/935949?utm_source=Stockpack&amp;utm_medium=referral\" class=\"stockpack-provider\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">Pexels<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Collaboration is another key benefit of effective communication and team building. Small business owners often work with a team of professionals, such as accountants, lawyers, or marketing experts. Communicating effectively with these team members ensures everyone is on the same page and working towards the same goals. This can help avoid misunderstandings or delays and improve your outcomes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Tips_for_Improving_Communication_Skills\"><\/span>Tips for Improving Communication Skills<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>As mentioned above, <a class=\"glossaryLink\" aria-describedby=\"tt\" data-cmtooltip=\"&lt;div class=glossaryItemTitle&gt;Active Listening&lt;\/div&gt;&lt;div class=glossaryItemBody&gt;Active listening is a communication technique that requires the listener to fully concentrate, understand, respond, and then remember what is being said.

This means paying attention to your co- communicator's words and asking questions to clarify their needs and concerns. You can build rapport and establish trust by showing that you are listening and interested in their business.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" src=\"https:\/\/corethos.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/man4-2.jpg\" alt=\"Face of a skeptical listener\" class=\"wp-image-571\" srcset=\"https:\/\/corethos.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/man4-2.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/corethos.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/man4-2-600x400.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Regular communication is vital for <a href=\"https:\/\/sloanreview.mit.edu\/article\/five-ways-to-strengthen-the-employee-employer-relationship-in-2023\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">building relationships<\/a> and managing expectations. Keep your team and clients informed of your progress and any updates or changes to your plan. You can avoid surprises and satisfy your clients by being proactive in your communication.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are many ways to communicate today, including email, text, phone, and video conferencing. Choose the best method for your client, team and the situation. Written communication, for example, email, may be appropriate for routine updates, while a phone call may be necessary for more urgent matters. While those satisfy getting the message across, with so many of us in a remote or hybrid role today, visual communication is critical for building long-lasting relationships. A quick video chat could go a long way in allowing for nonverbal cues of body language to come through to a degree.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Our last tip for improving communication is focused on tapping your <a href=\"https:\/\/emeritus.org\/in\/learn\/why-emotional-intelligence-is-important-in-leadership\/#:~:text=Emotional%20intelligence%20develops%20a%20positive,put%20their%20best%20foot%20forward.\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">emotional intelligence<\/a> and connecting with one's compassion and empathy. This is a relatively short summary of these skills; we'll share more in later blog posts. For the purpose of this post, it involves the ability to understand and share another person's feelings, holding space to hear what they need to share with you and envisioning how what they are sharing could be experienced by you. By practicing this level of kindness, you can better understand your client's needs and concerns. This can help you tailor how you lead your team to their specific situation and build stronger relationships that empower them to do the great things they can accomplish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1333\" src=\"https:\/\/corethos.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/man3-2.jpg\" alt=\"Person looking at a board of notes\" class=\"wp-image-579\" srcset=\"https:\/\/corethos.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/man3-2.jpg 2000w, https:\/\/corethos.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/man3-2-600x400.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2000px) 100vw, 2000px\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Effective open communication is essential for small business leaders. It allows you to build relationships with your team and clients; manage expectations to achieve the deliverables needed to uplevel your company to new levels of success. This results in providing value to your clients. Spending time with those who choose to address concerns directly with you builds the connective tissue that allows for deeper connections and collaborations with team members. You can better serve your clients and achieve tremendous success in your business by improving your communication skills. Remember to listen actively, be clear and concise, communicate regularly, choose the correct communication method, and practice empathy, compassion and kindness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you enjoyed this article, here is another you may enjoy: <br><a href=\"https:\/\/corethos.com\/dont-seek-best-practices-seek-extraordinary\/\">Don't Seek Best Practices; Seek Extraordinary!<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It&#x2019;s Not What You Said; It&#x2019;s How It&#x2019;s Heard.
