As an accountant, your technical skills are crucial, but they're only part of the equation. To truly excel, you must also harness emotional intelligence (EI), which is the ability to understand and manage your emotions and those of others. This skill can be a game-changer in client communication, transforming interactions from mere transactions to meaningful connections. By empathizing with clients and adjusting your approach based on their emotional cues, you can provide a more personalized service that resonates on a deeper level. Let's delve into how you can integrate EI into your accounting practices for improved client relations.

1 Understand EI

Emotional intelligence is composed of four core skills: self-awareness, self-management, social awareness, and relationship management. As an accountant, understanding these skills can help you navigate the complexities of client interactions. Self-awareness allows you to recognize your emotions and their impact on your work, while self-management helps you to remain flexible and positively direct your behavior. Social awareness gives you the insight to understand your clients' emotions and the dynamics in play during meetings or negotiations. Finally, relationship management involves using awareness of your own and others' emotions to foster strong client relationships.

2 Active Listening

Active listening is a critical component of emotional intelligence that involves fully concentrating, understanding, responding, and then remembering what is being said. As an accountant, this means not just hearing the numbers or facts your clients share, but also picking up on their concerns, values, and motivations behind the figures. By actively listening, you demonstrate empathy and can build trust, which is essential for a long-lasting client relationship. It also helps you to gather more comprehensive information to better serve your client's needs.

Being able to truely listen not only to the words, yet also the context & body language which is another part of observation. You can build trust by listening & then responding to their answers in a professional and honest way.

3 Empathy in Action

Empathy is the ability to understand and share the feelings of another. In your role as an accountant, applying empathy means acknowledging your clients' concerns about their financial situations. When you resonate with their feelings, whether it's stress about tax season or excitement about business growth, you create a supportive environment. This doesn't compromise your professionalism; rather, it enhances the way you communicate complex information by making it more relatable and digestible for your clients.

Hablar de coincidencias, con ello hacemos sentir al cliente, que no está solo, que somos iguales, aunque, con diferencias. Mejoramos con ello la comunicación y la confianza.

4 Tailored Communication

Every client is unique, with different preferences for how they receive and process information. Emotional intelligence enables you to tailor your communication style to each client's personality and emotional state. Some may prefer detailed reports and a formal tone, while others might appreciate a more conversational approach with simplified explanations. By adjusting your communication methods accordingly, you not only respect their preferences but also make it easier for them to understand and act on the financial advice you provide.

5 Conflict Resolution

Inevitably, misunderstandings or disagreements will arise in any professional relationship. Emotional intelligence equips you with the tools to handle such conflicts with grace and professionalism. By staying calm and using your EI skills to navigate the situation, you can deescalate tensions and find a resolution that satisfies all parties involved. This might mean acknowledging the emotional aspect of the conflict and then focusing on finding a logical solution that addresses the client's concerns.

El no llevarse nada a lo personal, ayuda a resolver conflictos, paciencia, control de palabras, gestos. La implicación de una manera amable, en escuchar ambas partes, bajar la presión del conflicto, llegando de una forma asertiva donde está el mal entendido, expresamos sentimientos con actitud positiva, vamos con el problema no hay culpables, con entendimiento, cari?o, llegamos a la resolución y al acercamiento.

6 Continuous Improvement

Lastly, using emotional intelligence in client communication is not a one-time effort; it's an ongoing process of improvement. Reflect on your interactions with clients, identifying areas where EI has enhanced the communication and areas where there's room for growth. Seek feedback from clients and colleagues to gain different perspectives on how well you're employing EI in your practice. The more you practice these skills, the more natural they will become, leading to stronger client relationships and a more successful accounting career.

Cuanta más normalidad le des a la comunicación con el cliente, con inteligencia emocional, mejor te irá en la vida, practicar es lo justo, sirve de ejemplo y contagio. Rodéate con colegas que lo practique, porque es retroalimentación. Y si en tu trabajo o familia, es inviable la IE, por la gente toxica que están en el lugar y todos viven ahí NO MIRANDO DE FRENTE EL PROBLEMA!!!! RETIRATEEE. La ignorancia SE EDUCA, la estupidez toxica ES PERMANENTE.
