It’s amazing how valued a person feels if you take the time to ring them or email them about a product they have just purchased or service you provided for them.

Similarly, whenever we have met with a client and given them a quote and proposal we will get in touch with them a week later to ensure that they understand and are happy with everything we have outlined.
