Do your clients view your business as a working relationship or simply as a commodity? Are you looking for ways to make your connections with your clients more meaningful? If client relationships are important to your business, you won’t want to miss this episode of the Get The Intel podcast! When it comes to building and maintaining meaningful relationships with clients, gift giving is essential. According to John Ruhlin, Co-founder of Giftology Group, giving the right gift at the right time can have clients thinking and talking about your business for years to come. However, John says items like extravagant watches and cases of wine during the holidays are pointless. Instead, he suggests more practical and meaningful ideas that don’t include swag, logos, or trinkets. So, exactly what kinds of gifts should you be giving to your clients? In this episode of the Get The Intel podcast, Chad Gill is joined by John Ruhlin, the Co-founder of Giftology Group, for a conversation about building meaningful business relationships by giving the right gift at the right time.
