Specialist in Providing HVAC&R & Customised Maintenance Advice for Commercial & Industrial Buildings
It may be old fashioned, however, regularly meeting your customers /clients in person will give you first hand knowledge into future challenges and requirements for their valuable assets. Also, people definately appreciate your efforts to provide direct management support rather than relying solely on your field technicians. As a line manager, ask yourself “when was the last time I met with a client face to face”. Meeting with your clients regularly definitely helps with client retention so remember, always treat your existing clients as gold.
Well said Pete I think this message has been lost over the years, we still need the face-to-face and clients need to know they are important.
Solid advice. Can't put a price on face to face service.
Relationships are via email or on line ….. face to face is the only true way
Peter I 100% agree.

8moPeter Howcroft this is so true, this is missing in the modern business process…..!!! It amazes me when I have a coffee or meet in person with a stakeholder how often I am told “This never happens” We all believe we are time-poor and just shoot off an email or leave a voice message…. How often does that go unanswered or even worse misinterpreted? A good old coffee/face-to-face chat can achieve so much in such a short time…..! Value your stakeholders!!!! (internal and external) without them, you have no business!
