The retention of existing 'good' clients and acquisition of new clients is at the top of any firm's 'must do' list. Many firms, however, fail to analyse strategically the nature of their client base let alone whether they are acting for clients in growth sectors of the economy or for clients who provide rewarding work for the members of the firm. |
