How to use: Copy the template above and replace the placeholders (like [Client Name], [Project Name], etc.) with your actual information.

When to Use This Template

Introducing your team members to the client humanizes the agency relationship and sets up direct communication channels that improve collaboration. Clients who know the people working on their account feel more connected, are more patient during challenges, and provide better feedback. Use this template when a new team member joins the client account, when the project team changes, or during onboarding when the full team is being introduced for the first time. Personnel changes handled poorly are a top reason clients lose confidence in their agency — proper introductions prevent this. The team introduction email also manages expectations about who does what. When clients know that Sarah handles design and Michael handles development, they direct questions to the right person, reducing internal routing delays and miscommunication. Clear role definition at the team level improves response times and work quality.

Best Practices

Share Relevant Expertise

For each team member, mention their specific expertise and experience that is relevant to the client. "Sarah has 8 years of experience in SaaS UX design and previously worked with [similar company]" builds confidence. Clients want to know they have experienced professionals on their account, not generic staff.

Explain Why the Change Is Positive

If replacing a team member, frame the change as an improvement or natural progression. "As we move into the development phase, we are bringing in Michael, our senior developer who specializes in React applications" positions the change as strategic rather than concerning.

Provide Contact Information

Include direct email addresses and preferred communication methods for each team member. Remove the friction of clients having to ask how to reach someone. The easier you make direct communication, the better the working relationship will be.

Suggest an Introduction Call

Offer a brief video call for the client and new team member to connect face-to-face. This 15-minute investment pays enormous dividends in relationship quality. People who have met, even virtually, communicate more effectively than those who have only exchanged emails.

Pro Tips

Introduce team members before they start working with the client
Clearly explain their role and what they'll handle vs. what you'll handle
Share relevant background to build credibility and trust
Provide clear contact information and response time expectations
Explain the "why" behind the introduction if it's a change
Facilitate a smooth handoff with a joint call or meeting if needed

Frequently Asked Questions

When should I introduce new team members to clients?

Introduce team members 1-2 weeks before they start working with the client, or immediately if it's an urgent addition. Give clients time to process the change and ask questions before the transition happens.

What if clients are resistant to working with someone new?

Acknowledge their concerns. Explain the benefits (dedicated attention, specialized expertise, etc.). Offer a transition period where you're both involved. Reassure them that you're still available for major decisions. Most clients adapt once they see the value.

Should I introduce team members via email or call?

Start with an email introduction, then offer a call or meeting. Email gives clients time to process, while a call allows for questions and relationship building. For important transitions, a joint call is ideal.

How do I handle the transition from me to a new team member?

Provide overlap period where both of you are involved. Gradually shift responsibilities. Be available for questions during transition. Set clear boundaries: "I'll handle [X], [Team Member] will handle [Y]." Make it clear this is a positive change, not a step back.
