The way to reinforce and solidify a customer relationship is:

  • They were tasked with a new project.
  • They were involved in a new product launch.
  • They are giving back to their community.

Keep it real

Then reach out to that customer — and give them, A GENUINE COMPLIMENT.

Celebrate! Get excited!

And as a result, you’ll be on the inside track to gain that customer’s attention. You’ll become the ultimate sales pro.
