Clients
Keep in mind that it is typical to talk with an average of 20 prospects in order to attain one client.Look for companies that have multiple departments, such as sales, service, customer relations, marketing and public relations. Consider that when there are several different departments that have their own specific goals, details get lost in the process. That’s why it will be easier for you to identify areas where they will be able to save on their expenses.
