One of the hottest tips is to make her or him miss you. Why? Constantly offering every single piece of you might cease your mates interest in you.

There are lots of similarities between dating and consulting business. To keep your business relationship alive it’s sometimes important to remember rule #40: Make your client miss you.
Staying too long with the same client might lower how your work is appreciated. Working constantly with the same people might lead to that your contribution not longer is recognized. Your client might get used to your performance and results. Your achievements might – from your client’s perspective – become “commodity” or standard. Eventually your client might not longer see your value that clearly.
In such a situation it’s smart to make your client miss you – at least for a short period.
