The Importance of Staying In Front Of Our
 Customers Has Never Been Questioned
Statistically, sales are made …
•   2% on the 1st call
•   3% on the 2nd call
•   5% on the 3rd call
•   10% on the 4th call
•   80% on the 5th to 12th call
It can be 5-7 times more costly to find a new
customer than it is to keep an existing one. Still …
Includes feeling ignored
We Use Many Methods To Stay In Touch
                     (and to gain referrals)



•   Phone calls
•   Drop-byes
•   Personal Notes
•   Gifts
•   Emails
•   Lunch
Including My Personal Favorite

IF You Really Want To Impress Me …
You will …
• Help me to build my
  business
• Find me new opportunities
• Connect me to others
• Help me to sell more stuff!
  And, you will do this CONTINUOUSLY!

  Relationships & To Build On Existing Ones

  that of a vendor. You want to be viewed as …
• A member of the team
• A trusted advisor
• A part of the company
Therefore … act like one!
