This month we're looking at ways for you to look at your customer and prospect base and build your revenues with the opportunities you have.
Another type of customer you have is your "good customers." The acronym KDWYD (keep doing what you’re doing) is your first line of defense. Keep treating them like gold, telling them every week that you appreciate their business, and always, always ask if there’s anything else you can do for them. As corny as it sounds the motivational phrase “you’re best kept rose will soon wither and die if left unattended” fits your good customers perfectly.
