> They are a customer not a client, the relationship is so very different
Mind you, for many non-native English speakers this is very subtle,
non-obvious difference. In my language, for instance, we don't have separate
words for clients and customers.
- umanwizard 10y agoI'm a reasonably literate native English speaker and I don't understand what the (supposed) difference is.
- slededit 10y agoThe relationship with a client is closer. Generally speaking the work is more bespoke and the level of trust between parties is higher. You see this when the product is not standardized. A customer on the other hand is anonymous and you're relationship with them will generally end after the original sale.
