Repairing Reputation With a Client After Making a Big Error
How do you repair your reputation with a client if you’ve made a significant error?
Paul
Hi Paul,
That you’re asking shows a lot about the quality of your character.
What your client likely desires is that you take prompt and full ownership of the significant error, offer up immediate, sincere remorse and extend the highest-quality apology that shows you clearly realize the magnitude of the error and how it negatively impacted them.
They want to see you put yourself in their shoes and really, deeply care about how the error has negatively impacted them. Then they want to see you care enough about the relationship to make it right in every way that requires.
If you do this humbly, with generosity, commitment and with great skill, you could very well restore or reconstruct trust, credibility and your reputation with them.
Hope this proves helpful. :) Great question.
