Description
Client relationships are the very foundations on which great businesses are built and maintained. While major corporations like Hewlett-Packard Company and Lockheed Martin have famous brands and hundreds of account managers who specialize in dealing with clients, the small business has to take a much more direct approach. Whether you are an owner of a sole proprietorship, a head of a growing firm, or a project manager working in a small company, communicating with your client is the most important skill you can develop.
