The foundation of a business mostly lies in trust. When a relationship of trust is developed between the business and its clients, the business grows rapidly. Trust usually develops when both parties are upright and know the importance of committing and then fulfilling those commitments.
When to write the reply letter to those who don’t fulfill commitments?
There comes a situation when it becomes extremely important for a service provider to meet his clients. There are lots of things that are required to be discussed in the meeting. For this purpose, you might have asked your client to meet you in-person. Sometimes, the client also asks for a meeting. However, the client does not show up on the specified day. This makes the client lose his credibility. In this situation, you can write a letter to your client.
Why the reply letter to the client is written when he does not fulfill the commitment?
Companies or individual service providers always reply to their customers and clients because they know that communication is the key if they want to make their business successful. Due to this, they never let the communication die and reply to every email and letter of the clients.
Sometimes, clients request the business or service providers to meet them in-person. For example, if you are a consultant and you render consultation services, you might have been asked by your client to take some time for meeting with you. Sometimes, some clients don’t bother to fulfill the commitment and don’t visit you on the promised day. Such clients are replied by the business by writing a reply letter. The basic purpose of writing this letter is to let the client know that his non-serious attitude has been noticed by you and you are not happy with this behavior.
