How can I add an interval between functions?

How can I add an interval between functions?

$("#cliente").click(function() {
   $(".portal_link").slideUp();
   $(this).slideDown();
   $(this).html("TESTE");
});

How can I add an interval between the 3 functions above?
e.g:
$("#cliente").click(function() {
   $(".portal_link").slideUp(); // when finished, wait 3 seconds, and executes the next
   $(this).slideDown(); // when finished executes the next
   $(this).html("TESTE");
});
