I totally agree with you. You should know how to talk and most especially you must know how to listen.

I find as well that no matter hw many times you explain things in the simplest ways, some people only choose what they want to hear. Communication is king so making sure people are listening is the other half of the battle

Thanks for a very interesting post and comments. Are most of you talking about money-making commercial sites? Or does it work for blogs and other sites which are not primarily about making money on-line.

It’s completely a platitude, but it’s the truth: Communication is Key. If you don’t keep you clients up to date with status reports (sometimes just checking in w/ nothing is going on) people will assume the worst. It’s unfortunate that human nature always assumes that when contact falls off that there is a problem, sometimes you’re just too busy to stay in constant contact!

I agree with the importance of communication that many companies lack. I worked for a website design & hosting company where they contacted the client either by e-mail or phone for any small change. At the beginning I thought it was a wasted of time but after a while I could see the customers came back for other services and were very loyal to the company because of it.

Great read especially the part on not promising what you can’t keep. A lot of us get sucked into the trend of trying to impress without having much - if anything, to back it up.
