Turn Exchanges into High-Yield Relationships
Client Orientation: Why Should We Care?
Keep your customer satisfied—even if your “customer” is your employee, colleague, partner, or plumber!
Client Orientation helps you turn every interaction into a high-yield relationship. Rooted in years of coaching experience within multinationals, this guide is built on a simple reality: in almost every exchange, we are all “sellers” and “buyers.” Whether managing a global team or a home renovation, this manual teaches you to foster positive communication and secure the results you need in just 3.5 hours. Works for self-study or as support for your coaching sessions.
Available in Print, eBook, and Audio

‘LTR 4 made me realise that every single conversation I have, whether it’s with a client, a colleague, a partner, or even a plumber, is a negotiation. And not in a cold transactional way, but in a very human sense.
My personal takeaway: when communicating, we are all buyers and sellers. The workbook unpacks what that actually means, building the concept of the “win-win” dialogue.
As a designer myself, I love reading how “client orientation” is translated beyond the commercial context. Your client is whoever is on the receiving end of your communication, and that shift in perspective alone is worth the read. I usually work with stakeholders of all kinds, and this insight made me rethink how I show up in conversations I had previously underestimated.
The recap table at the end is, once again, a masterclass in usability. Four ropes, the issues they solve, and the solutions defined crystal clear. I may have photographed it… Onwards to LTR 5!’
