Client Portal Is a Retention Engine
“If you deliver ongoing services and reporting, add a client portal; if you do one-off work, skip it.”
When is it the right choice?
- You have recurring deliverables and check-ins
- You want reduced back-and-forth communication
- You want centralized assets and reporting
When should you skip it?
- Engagement is short and transactional
- You can't keep the portal updated weekly
- Client prefers their own tools and won't adopt yours
