THE ANGELWOOD GLOSSARY
Client Communication
All interactions between firm and client, including updates, meetings, emails, and portal activity.
DEFINITION FIRST
All interactions between firm and client, including updates, meetings, emails, and portal activity.
Best for operators who need a quick definition first and then the operational context behind client communication.
Definition
Client communication encompasses every touchpoint: emails, calls, meetings, status updates, reports, and portal interactions. Effective communication is proactive, clear, and appropriate in frequency. Over-communication wastes time; under-communication breeds anxiety and distrust.
Why it matters
Communication failures are the leading cause of client dissatisfaction. Clients report wanting more transparency and fewer surprises. The challenge is providing visibility without creating noise. Structured communication through portals often outperforms ad-hoc emails and calls.
AN ILLUSTRATION
Example
