This GLOMACS Client Management Strategies for Retention & Growth training course, the customer centricity has always been a desirable characteristic in Business. Still, in an age where switching is friction-free, and all customer experiences are instantaneously shared around the world, it has now become a "Mission-Critical" necessity.

In an increasingly competitive and Social world, retaining clients is a smart business. It has been estimated that it costs five times more to get a new customer than to keep an existing one.
