Comment: "Many thanks. 'Open up' as suggested elsewhere would have been okay if it referred to, for example, the market. But in this case 'induce' is an excellent solution."

: Very nice idiom, but I can't help feeling that 'clearing the road' could be a lot broader than just 'het openbreken van de cliënt'.

Nurturing
Just another suggestion:
"...nurturing the client / customer for a far-reaching (extensive) and long-term relationship".
Some examples from Google:
"Our philosophy is that a relatively small firm of dedicated lawyers can achieve outstanding results by giving highly professional, intensely personal service to their clients. Thanks to this philosophy, we are serving a wide variety of individual and corporate clients, practicing sophisticated law primarily in North and South Carolina and nurturing the client relationships that we believe make up a truly dynamic law firm."
"At Temel, we believe knowing about our customers business is essential for us to develop solutions that will make a difference for their business. You will be responsible for managing and nurturing the client relationship and working with the project management team during all project cycles."

Or maybe, nurturing the client relationship?
It sounds a bit better!

I agree with both sets of comments. I quite like the 'priming' suggestion.

to prime
I believe the term used by marketing moguls is "to prime clients".
E.g.: "If you treat the proposal as a marketing tool, you’re still trying to prime the client when she is past the stage where she needs to be primed. She wants to buy. If you treat the proposal as a technical document you are giving the client too much data when she has no interest in digesting it. She wants to buy."
http://www.proposalworks.com/purpose.html
E.g.: "ProQuest users report that clients appreciate being able to 'engage' with the planner prior to the first meeting and that this activity also helps 'prime' the client for financial discussions."
