I'm great friends with all of my clients! I've even stayed over at one client's house; we take EAC courses together sometimes! And I think it's made business much better. They're more likely to refer me, they're more open to pay increases, they're easier to talk to when a job they've given me needs more work than they thought, and we learn a lot from each other on being professionals in our field. There's always mutual benefit. YES!! I’m great friends with all of my clients! I’ve even stayed over at one client’s house; we take EAC courses together sometimes!
