Let’s be real, time is money. Especially in high-end business where clients expect a level of service that matches the price they’re paying. I recently experienced this firsthand and it left me feeling frustrated and undervalued.

I was looking for a custom piece of jewelry for a special occasion. I found a beautiful design from a well known jeweler, a brand that’s known for their exquisite craftsmanship and (supposedly) great customer service. So I shot them an email.

Weeks went by and my inbox was silent. No confirmation of receipt, no follow up, not even an automated “Thank you for your interest” email. It was like I’d dropped a pebble into a bottomless well – no response, just a sense of sinking feeling.

The Cost of Low Communication

This made me realize how damaging slow response times can be, especially for high-end businesses. In a world where luxury means exceptional service, delayed communication sends a conflicting message. It means lack of attention to detail, disregard for client time and ultimately a disconnect from the very clients you’re trying to attract.

Consider this: high-end clients have many options at their disposal. If one company doesn’t prioritize communication, a competitor who does is just a click away. In my case the jeweler’s lack of response not only lost me a sale but also any trust or brand loyalty I had built.

Building Bridges, Not Communication Silos

So what’s the solution? How can high-end businesses cultivate a culture of fast and efficient communication? Here are a few ideas:

  • Set Expectations: Let clients know what to expect in terms of response time. Be upfront about email, phone and project update turnaround times.

  • Multiple Channels: Offer multiple ways to communicate, phone, email, text, live chat. Cater to how your clients want to communicate.

  • Internal Communication is Everything: Make sure all internal teams are on the same page. Streamline communication so inquiries get to the right person quickly.

  • The Personal Touch: A quick email acknowledging receipt of an inquiry shows you value the client’s time and interest.

  • Invest in Technology: Use technology to your advantage. Consider an automated response system or project management tool that allows for communication and keeps clients informed.
