Why Clear Communication with Clients Is Vital for Service Providers
Poor communication is one of the top causes of project delays, cost overruns, and client dissatisfaction. Studies show that miscommunication accounts for up to 70% of project failures across industries.
In the home services sector, a Houzz survey found that 45% of homeowners who were unhappy with a renovation cited poor communication as a major reason.
Scattered communications across texts, emails, and phone calls make it easy to lose critical details—leading to misunderstandings, mistakes, and rework. All of which cost time, money, and reputation.
