A really interesting post and blog and comments about being 'friends' with clients. I tend to think it's good to have compatable people in business working together and if you are compatable with someone on a few levels in business you are likely to be able to be friends, providing personal values are of a similar standard as well. I prefer to take on clients I can actually socialise with and invite to events and grow a fairly strong friendship level with. The idea of an overly shallow business relationship never really appeals to me, as when I take on a client I have them or hope to have them for a long time. I have found this approach does and doesn't work depending on how well I feel matched with the client. for me it's a given thay I deliver on projects, but if I can't offer something more as well I feel quite de-valued and loose interest in working with the client lomg term. I'm not sure this is something I can or would change about myself. I guess it has it has it's pros and cons. It's good when it's a good match and not good if it's a bad match. I always add such solid value to projects, but if the client doesn't have the degree of character or friendlyness I am looking for then I find it unworthwhile.
