6 Steps to Perfect Qual – Step 6: Maintaining Client Relationships
November 14, 2018
Maintaining client relationships and nurturing leads may seem time consuming, but for consultants and corporate researchers it’s a vital resource in building trust between your company and clients (both new and old). This is especially important when you’ve finished a project with a client; it’s your chance to remind them that your service is valuable enough to use again and again.
We will discuss best practices for effective marketing strategies to ultimately build your relationship with clients. In this webinar you’ll learn how to:
- Create meaningful client relationships to encourage repeat business
- Create engaging thought-leadership content to demonstrate industry expertise
