What do I need to know about the Best in Client Service Award?
Partners, if you were nominated for Best in Client Service, your clients have the opportunity to support you in the month of September by casting a vote in your favor! Client voting is open to ANY of your clients, whether or not they are currently advertising on Yelp.
