I've discovered pretty early on that it's very important to get customer feedback. Not just because I get to know what the customer really thinks, but because it shows them that I care. A very simple "Are you happy with the work I've done?" can and has made a world of difference. I can tell they don't expect that kind of a question. (Although for the love of god if they're not happy with something, fix it or assure them it won't happen again) I agree.
