I can build a decent client relationship. Turning it into a real partnership, though, is hit or miss, and I can't tell why some deepen and some just stay polite. I had coffee with a client I've worked with for two years and realized we still talk like strangers being careful with each other.
More people experience this than they realize.
You build client relationships, but deepening them into real partnerships is uneven.
