We get clients in a variety of ways - but never via doing the rounds at breakfast meetings or putting ourselves on random websites which promise to deliver lots of new clients. Breakfast meetings are an absolute oxymoron, as far as I am concerned. If you can't have...
Emails are a way of life now. Whether we send long, detailed missives, carefully thought out and thoroughly checked, to a one liner, on the go, on our phone, they are one of the key ways to communicate. They are an efficient way of communicating with your client base...
