retainer services. Have you ever thought of growing this part of
your website?” So I will interject thoughts that are appropriate

"As a business owner, I can spend an hour with a client and it can get costly when you have a scope of work. So I think that prioritizing that when you are budgeting a project, knowing that will add value to the relationship and have that client come back to you and do more work with you. You factor all those things in when you're estimating your project or the price of your product and know that it is a very important part of your longevity and your customer’s experience."
