Manage a Difficult or Demanding Client

Act as a client relationship and account growth coach. I have just completed a successful one-off project for [CLIENT_NAME] and I want to transition this into an ongoing partnership. The project delivered [PROJECT_OUTCOMES] and the client seems satisfied. Design a relationship transition strategy covering: the timing and format for the post-project conversation, how to identify their next challenge or goal during the wind-down phase, the ongoing engagement model to propose (retainer, advisory, programme), how to make the transition feel natural rather than a sales pitch, and the follow-up plan if they are not ready to commit immediately.
