Research suggests that people opt for an email or message too often, when a phone call will help enable a much better relationship.

#2. MAKE SMART RECOMMENDATIONS
You know your products/services better than anyone… Your knowledge of the small details of your products and services have been acquired over time and offering your customer some guidance on what solution works best in their situation. Pass on this valuable knowledge and allow your customers to make intelligent decisions that they’ll thank you for. They are also more likely to become a returning customer.
#3. FIND OUT ABOUT THEIR BUSINESS
Do some homework! Talk to them and learn more about how they work as an operation. Do you know where they are based? how many staff members they have? Do you speak to one department or multiple? It’s always interesting to find out about the finer details. You’ll get a better idea of where you can help them! Businesses that take the time to research their clients are much more likely to solve their problems effectively.
#4. SEND THEM A BRANDED TREAT
We’ve worked with hundreds of businesses to provide edible branded treats for their key customers. It’s a sure-fire way to make them smile and can help you stand out from your competitors.
