As a veteran in the book publicity and marketing industry, Jane Wesman knows that some projects can’t be “built in a day” and need longer-term dedication. In this interview, we explore what you need to know about your team and your finances to be ready for this supposed “Holy Grail” of clientele.

Episode Highlights

  • Screening for longer-terms clients: What do they need … and what do you need to charge?
  • How regular client communication—especially around money—fosters better longer-term relationships
  • Why not crunching your numbers (or knowing your profit margins) can turn a dream retainer into a recurring nightmare
  • How small businesses can get “inspired” by looking at what companies in other industries (or bigger companies in the same industry) are doing successfully
  • Do you really want to grow your business … and grow it this way? What to ask yourself.
