1 Mistake 1: Asking for feedback too late

One of the biggest mistakes you can make is to wait until the end of a project, a contract, or a year to ask for feedback from your clients. By then, it might be too late to fix any issues, learn from your mistakes, or show your appreciation. Instead, you should ask for feedback regularly and frequently, preferably after each milestone, deliverable, or interaction. This way, you can make adjustments, address concerns, and demonstrate your commitment to quality and satisfaction.

2 Mistake 2: Asking for feedback too broadly

Another common mistake is to ask for feedback without specifying what kind of feedback you want, how you want it, and why you want it. This can lead to vague, irrelevant, or unhelpful responses that don't give you any actionable insights or direction. Instead, you should ask for feedback that is specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, and timely (SMART). For example, you can ask your clients to rate your performance on a scale of 1 to 10, to give you examples of what they liked and disliked, and to suggest areas for improvement.

Feedback é uma daquelas express?es da moda, falamos muito sobre, mas na prática entendemos pouco seu real significado e como utilizá-lo da forma mais adequada. Em minha experiência, pedir feedback de forma muito ampla além de pouco produtivo gerará respostas vagas. Fazemos isso pela falta de prática e também medo do julgamento. Ou seja, pedimos, mas com apreens?o em rela??o a resposta. Precisamos de técnica e coragem para evoluir no uso dessa ferramenta t?o importante para o crescimento.

3 Mistake 3: Asking for feedback too defensively

A third common mistake is to ask for feedback with a defensive or resistant attitude. This can make you seem insecure, arrogant, or unprofessional, and can discourage your clients from giving you honest and constructive feedback. Instead, you should ask for feedback with an open and curious mindset, and a genuine desire to learn and grow. You should also thank your clients for their feedback, acknowledge their perspective, and show them how you plan to implement their suggestions.

4 Mistake 4: Asking for feedback too one-sidedly

A fourth common mistake is to ask for feedback without giving any feedback in return. This can make you seem selfish, uninterested, or ungrateful, and can damage your rapport and trust with your clients. Instead, you should ask for feedback as part of a two-way conversation, and also give your clients feedback on their expectations, communication, and collaboration. This way, you can build a stronger relationship, show your appreciation, and create a positive feedback culture.

5 Mistake 5: Asking for feedback too inconsistently

A fifth common mistake is to ask for feedback sporadically or randomly, without following a clear and consistent process. This can make you seem disorganized, unprofessional, or unreliable, and can confuse your clients and reduce their engagement. Instead, you should ask for feedback systematically and regularly, following a feedback plan that outlines the purpose, frequency, method, and format of your feedback requests. You should also track and document your feedback results, and share them with your clients and stakeholders.

6 Mistake 6: Asking for feedback too passively

A sixth common mistake is to ask for feedback without taking any action on it. This can make you seem indifferent, irresponsible, or disrespectful, and can undermine your credibility and reputation. Instead, you should ask for feedback with the intention of acting on it, and show your clients that you value their input and respect their opinions. You should also follow up with your clients, update them on your progress, and ask for their feedback again to measure your improvement.

While positive feedback is encouraging, it's essential to also seek constructive criticism to identify areas for improvement. Avoid seeking validation and instead welcome feedback that challenges you to grow.
