No matter how often contact with the client happens, it is highly likely that it doesn’t happen often enough. According to research, companies are investing much more money in winning new clients than in maintaining a good relationship with the existing ones.

Nowadays, there are many options in which you can maintain and improve a relationship. Here are some of them:
- Visiting clients at their oice from time to time because nothing beats face to face communication.
- Being in touch by phone and email because that is an eective way of accomplishing your communication goals.
- Being active on social media has to be part of every marketing strategy. It helps you connect with your customers/clients, increase awareness about your brand, and boosts your leads and sales.
- Sending newsletters to inform clients about your recent business activities.
- Organizing client events, such as seminars, workshops, parties, team buildings etc.
Overall, it is important to complete tasks/projects by due-date and in a high-quality way.
