You should become an authority in your field, deliver outstanding service with every project, and stay up-to-date in your chosen specialty. You have many options: landline, cellular phone, texting, fax line (yeah, many people still fax), email, website contact form, Twitter direct message, LinkedIn message, Skype, and lots more.

Nobody came to tell me what I have to do, they just informed me about the projects that were developed in the company and that was pretty much all.
