Strategic relationship is always useful in developing mortgage business in an effective manner. Due to the effective relationship with the clients Fergus George Newnam & Natalie Jane Carter, the loan application was granted in a timely manner.

Such kind of strategic relationship can be useful for a long-term purpose. On the other hand, with the help of such relationships, one can easily meet the expectations of a client effectively. On the other hand, the settlement process also takes a shorter time if there is a good working relationship with the client (Claycomb and Martin 2013).Develop strategic relationships: What strategies might you put in place to help in developing the business relationship with your clients?

Several strategies can be undertaken in order to develop strategic relationships with the clients. In the initial stages, it is of great essence to create a friendly ambience with the client. If the client is comfortable in the initial stages itself, then they can easily disclose personal information required for the loan process. On the contrary, if the client fails to disclose any personal information, then, the loan process cannot be completed. Apart from this, the client may be asked to fill up a questionnaire, just to know the mindset of the client. If the mindset of the client can be judged, then, it will be possible to take strategic steps to develop a effective relationship with the respective client (Tickle and Booth 2014).
