Before the conversation, I review relevant information about the client and their background to better understand their situation, then I show understanding and empathy towards their feelings and problems, which helps build trust. Based on what I have heard, I propose solutions that align with their needs and expectations. I make sure the client is in agreement with what was discussed, reviewing next steps and answering any questions they may have, and I follow up after the conversation to make sure the client is satisfied and to maintain a good long-term relationship.
