Hola Shirley
In this case we use the personal "a" as the direct object is a person (cliente) - if it was talking about a "thing" you don't use the "a":
Trabajé muy duro para conseguir un buen salario.
I worked hard to get a good salary.
This lesson will help you understand this concept.
Saludos
Inma
