The traditional maxim in a military career was “up or out.” Either you progressed up the chain of command or you were urged to find your career calling elsewhere. Similarly, we all have clients we like to work with and those at whom we roll our eyes when they call or email. The best clients are those who are easy to work for, pay promptly, and refer you new business. This seminar walks you through the process of grading your clients on a variety of criteria. We then teach you the steps and techniques to move your clients up the scale. Turn your “C clients” into Bs and your “B clients” into As. Learn how to deliver great service to clients who are a joy to work for.
