When a key client asks for services beyond our usual scope, I focus on balancing their needs with our expertise. First, I assess if the request aligns with our core competencies and goals. If it does, we’ll evaluate our team’s capacity and resources to ensure quality. Next, I’ll communicate transparently with the client. I outline our capabilities, noting any limits or potential adjustments in service. If a request truly pushes us beyond our expertise, I’ll recommend alternatives. This might involve connecting them with a trusted partner or proposing a modified solution that stays within our capabilities but addresses their needs.

Retaining a key client’s loyalty when they request services beyond your usual scope requires a thoughtful and strategic approach. We need to understand their specific requirement. Evaluate whether we have the capacity and expertise to deliver the requested services. Make sure to gauge the impact to our current process and resources. If we decide to support the clients requirement, we need to outline a clear plan covering timeline, costs and additional resources. Be transparent with what we can provide and what we can't. Never forget to emphasize on the value we are already providing to their business. Reinforce commitment to their success. Be open to feedback and adjustments on proposed solutions. Regular follow ups post implementation!

As long as the customer’s requirements are out of my usual scope, then i’ll begin by showing understanding to those requirements. Yet, i’ll state clearly that they are iut of my usual scope but at the same time informing him/her that i’ll take it to the next level for alignment/approval with NO Ptomises to avoid potential future conflicts. I can discuss it with the relevant team explaining the customer’s profile and how important he/she is a key one to the organization. Then we can come up with solutions/alternatives that suit the customer’s needs and align with the organization’s strategy to reach a win-win resolution.
