How do you get one of those big clients that keep you on a retainer? Every job I get is usually short-term or it just fizzles out, even when we get measurable results. So confused…

There is no one guaranteed path to landing a big client that keeps you on a retainer .First, make sure your marketing materials are top-notch and highlight your successes in previous engagements. Always showcase your best professional self.

Networking is key. Focus on building strong relationships with your current clients - let them know how valuable you are and that you're always looking for new opportunities.

Stay up to date on the latest industry trends and be prepared to discuss them with potential clients. If you can show that you're knowledgeable and capable of helping them meet their goals, they're likely to consider working with you long-term.

Do you have an upsell strategy? You gotta keep reminding the clients that you're there and that you have valuable services to offer them

I suppose it depends, where are you getting these clients from? What's your strategy at the moment?

A lot of clients out there aren't ready to make a commitment like the one you seek, at least if you're working with local or small businesses that don't understand the value of SM marketing. \
