Most companies would usually think that clients only like the products and services, and they don’t see any reason as to why clients would disengage with them. This approach is very uncertain as clients can easily let go for a number of reasons. These may involve displeasure with products, poor customer service, among others. In these situations, the unsung heroes who champion the success of the company are the Trade Development Specialists.
