For consultants and agencies, long-term client relationships mean steady income. But more importantly, they mean you can spend more time doing what you love—delivering great results for awesome clients—and less time on business development and proposal writing.

Over time, communications become more efficient, as the consultant becomes less of an external resource and more of simply an extension of your team.
